Lyrics

[Chorus: K'naan] When I get older, I will be stronger They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag So wave your flag, now wave your flag Now wave your flag (Oh) [Verse 1: K'naan] Born to a throne, stronger than Rome A violence-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 Among the hardest, survival Learn from these streets, it can be bleak Accept no defeat, surrender, retreat [Pre-Chorus: K'naan] So we strugglin', fighting 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: K'naan] When I get older, I will be stronger I'll make it better, struggle no longer When I get older, I will be stronger They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag So wave your flag, now wave your flag Now wave your flag, now wave your flag Now wave your flag, now wave your flag Now wave your flag (Oh) [Verse 2: K'naan & will.i.am] So many wars (Wars), settlin' scores (Scores) Bringin' us promises, leavin' us poor And in a situation when death's a compensation They got no occupation to buy no medication See, it's a combination of no education But we can never get and save tomorrow's generation 'Cause they can't control us, no, they can't hold us down We gon' pick it up [Pre-Chorus: will.i.am & K'naan] Even though we all strugglin', fighting to eat And we wondering when we'll be free So we patiently wait (Wait) for that fateful day (Go) It's not far away, but for now, we say [Chorus: K'naan, will.i.am, Both] When I get older, I will be stronger I'll make it better, struggle no longer When I get older, I will be stronger They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag So wave your flag (Yeah), and wave your flag (Yeah) And wave your flag (Yeah), and wave your flag And wave your flag, and wave your flag And wave your flag [Bridge: K'naan] (Oh) (Oh) (Oh) (Oh) And everybody will be singing it (Oh) And you and I will be singing it (Oh) And we all will be singing it (Oh) Oh, oh, oh (Oh) [Chorus: K'naan, K'naan & will.i.am, will.i.am] When I get older, I will be stronger Stronger, stronger, I will be stronger Stronger, stronger, I will be stronger They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag So wave your flag, and wave your flag And wave your flag, and wave your flag And wave your flag, and wave your flag And wave your flag (Yeah) [Outro: K'naan] (Oh, oh, oh) Just like a wavin' flag (Oh, oh) Just like a wavin' flag Just like a wavin' flag Just like a wavin' flag
