Wavin' Flag lyrics

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



nah, gimana? sarat makna bgt kan liriknya.
liriknya mengajak kita untuk merenungkan bahwa hidup kita lebih baik dari mereka yg tinggal di benua Afrika, di negara2 miskin atau di negara yg hak-haknya terkekang oleh pihak-pihak luar bahkan pemerintahnya sendiri....walau negeri kita Indonesia tercinta ini mempunyai banyak sekali masalah yg kadang kita sadari sepertinya tidak akan pernah selesai sampai kiamat tiba, tapi hidup kita tidak semenderita kebanyakan negeri-negeri di Afrika terutama...


sekarang hampir di seluruh negara-negara Afrika sudah merdeka dari kolonisasi tapi bukan berarti hidup mereka dapat bahagia, aman dan sejahtera...banyak sekali masalah-masalah baru yang muncul sehingga mereka seperti belum merdeka...merdeka untuk mengaspirasikan pandangan, pemikiran, keinginan akan hidup yang bahagia...


tetapi semangat untuk bebas dan bahagia tanpa adanya pertumpahan darah membuat mereka lebih kuat dan semakin kuat...mereka yang hanya memanfaatkan keuntungan dari rakyat Afrika tidak akan dengan mudah menghancurkan Afrika begitu saja...semakin lama Afrika akan semakin kuat....


gw yakin akan ada kedamaian di benua hitam, Afrika. 
semangat tak kan pernah pudar saudaraku....
