WAVIN' FLAGS

If you like the song ONE DAY, then I give you another powerful song. I cannot find the official video of the song but hope this one inspire all of us.. This is from K'naan, a Somali artist.

I will write the lyrics below so that you can follow and get the whole message of the song.. this is the second song the made me cry.. Freedom for Zimbabwe.. Long Live Africa!

When i get older, they'll call me freedom

Just like a Waving Flag.

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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,

[Chorus] 2x

(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)

And everybody will be singing it

(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)

And you and I will be singing it

(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)

And we all will be singing it

(Ohhh Ohh Ohh Ohh)

[Chorus] 2x

When I get older, when I get older

I will be stronger, just like a Waving Flag,

Just like a Waving Flag, just like a Waving flag

Flag, flag, Just like a Waving Flag
