Waving Flag Lyrics - Singles - K'naan

When I get older, I will be stronger 

They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag 

When I get older, I will be stronger 

They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag 

And then it goes back, and then it goes back 

And then it goes back 

Born to a throne, stronger than Rome 

But Violent prone, poor people zone 

But it's my home, all I have known 

Where I got grown, streets we would roam 

But out of the darkness, I came the farthest 

Among the hardest survival 

Learn from these streets, it can be bleak 

Except no defeat, surrender retreat 

So we struggling, fighting to eat and 

We wondering when we'll be free

So we patiently wait, for that fateful day 

It's not far away, so for now we say 

When I get older, I will be stronger 

They'll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag 

And then it goes back, and then it goes back 

And then it goes back 

So many wars, settling scores 

Bringing us promises, leaving us poor 

I heard them say, love is the way 

Love is the answer, that's what they say 

But look how they treat us, make us believers 

We fight their battles, then they deceive us 

Try to control us, they couldn't hold us 

Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers 

But we struggling, fighting to eat 

And we wondering, when we'll be free 

So we patiently wait, for that faithful day 

It's not far away, but for now we say
