Wavin' Flag Songtext
von K’naan

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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 liftin′ as we lose our inhibition
Celebration, it surrounds us, every nation, all around us

Staying forever young
Singing songs underneath the 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
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-oh-oh)


Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Give you freedom, give you fire, give you reason to take you higher
See the champions take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets, our heads are liftin′ as we lose our inhibition
Celebration, it surrounds us, every nation, all around us

Staying forever young
Singing songs underneath the 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
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
Wave your flag (now wave your flag, oh-oh-oh)


Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, we all say

When I get older, I will be stronger
They′ll call me freedom, just like a wavin' flag
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
Wave your flag (now wave your flag, oh-oh-oh)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (and everybody will be singing it)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (and we all will be singing it)
