K'NAAN LYRICS - Wavin' Flag

"Wavin' Flag"

(feat. David Bisbal)



Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher

See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud

In the streets our heads are lifting, as we lose our inhibition,

Celebration, its around us, every nations, all around us

Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun

Lets rejoice in the beautiful game,

And together at the end of the day.

We all say



[chorus:]

When I get older

I will be stronger

They'll call me 'Freedon'

just like a wavin' flag

and then it goes back, and then it goes back

and then it goes back, and then it goes. . .



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

Out of the darkness, I came the farthest

out of the hardest survival

Learn from these streets, it can be bleak,

accept no defeat, surrender retreat



[bridge:]

So we strugglin'

fightin' to eat

and we wonderin'

when we'll be free

so we patiently wait

for that fateful day

it's not far away,

but for now we say:



[chorus]



So many wars, settlin' 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 deeive us

try to control us, they couldn't hold us

'cause we just move forward like Buffalo soldiers



[Bridge]

[Chorus]
