VIBE (France) - Waving Flag (K'naan Remix) lyrics

Chorus: When I get older I will be stronger They call me freedom Just like a waving flag And then it goes back And then it goes back And then it goes back Oooo yeah Feet planted on the ground like the flag on the moon My childhood under construction with blessings coming soon My blood was immune to giving up Cause part of my people were stolen from Africa Scattered across, land of the freedom or land of the lost ????? was here first singing Cherokee songs Till the trail of tears became the path that they walked upon Uplifting words can hide the past Shocked by the truth, all the facts, a cross on their backs Waiting to heal like an arm in a cast They say teachers making lessons Celebrities living better Material things aren't worth more than the hearts treasures Close your eyes and imagine a flag kissing the sky And feel your freedom waving back, side to side Chorus x2 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 Heard this song from k'naan He spoke of his struggle Ill speak of mine too To conquer my struggle Roadblocks at the front door Why would someone want more Liquor store, gun store, drone strikes they must like war People leave their countries to come to America Thinking they could be freed from all the hysteria I heard someone say the other day they might have been wrong Funny how the gra** looks greener when the hopes gone Some say it's changed, things ain't bad as they used to be But used to be is yesterday, tomorrow could be d**h of me Everything we go through can only make us stronger If it doesn't k** us our ambition will last longer cause… Chorus x2 Once upon a time, the bu*terfly was a caterpillar Tree was a seed, flame was a spark The universe was a thought, in the mind of the creator Big bang see ya later, big bang see ya later Idealism versus realism Wisdom comes over time To get, to the top, each step must be climbed We digress then progress Some quiet, some express Who listens, who ignores? Which issue should I address? Reporting live from the beehive Buzzin just to survive Bugging as we collide, genocide, homicide You and I deserve to be free But every freedom has a cost Blood shed like sacrifices to god Plug in the truth, and let your consciousness charge As we grow older well see further Our vision ain't far As we grow older well see further Our vision ain't far As we grow older well see further Our vision ain't far Wavin Flag
