K'naan - Wavin Flag

Chorus:
C F
when i get older i will be
Am
stronger they'll call me freedom
G C
just like a waving flag
F
and then it goes back
Am
and then it goes back
G
and then it goes back


C
born to a throne
G
stronger than rome
Am
but violent prone
G
poor people zone
F
but its my home
C
all i have known
F

G
streets we would roam
C
out of the darkness
G

Am G
among the hardest survivin
F
learn form these streets
C

F

G

C G
(so we struggling) fighting to eat
Am G
(and we wondering) when we will be free
F

C
for that faithful day
F

G

C
but look how they treat us
G

Am

G
then they deceive us
F
try to control us
C
they couldn't hold us
F
cause we just move forward
G
like buffalo soldiers
C G
(but we strugglin) fighting to eat
Am G
(and we wonderingg) when we will be free
