Wavin’ Flag Lyrics
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, it’s around us, every nations, all around us…
Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that sun
Let’s rejoice in the beautiful game, and together at the end of the day
We all say…
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me ‘Freedom
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
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
Accept no defeat, surrender retreat…
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…
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 deceive us…
Try to control us, they couldn’t hold us
‘Cause we just move forward like Buffalo soldiers…
