K’naan- Wavin Flag (South Africa 2010 Theme)

Ooooooh Wooooooh,
Ooooooh Wooooooh
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 lifting, as we lose our inhibition,

Celebration, it surrounds us, every nation, all around us

Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that 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
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes....
When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes....

Oooooooooooooooooooh Woooooooooohhhohohoh
Oooooooooooooooooooh Woooooooooohhhohohoh
Give you freedom, give you fire, give you reason, take you higher
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets our heads are lifting, as we lose our inhibition,
Celebration, it surround us, every nation, all around us
Singing forever young, singing songs underneath that 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
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes....
When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes....

Oooooooooooooooooooh Woooooooooohhhohohoh
Oooooooooooooooooooh Woooooooooohhhohohoh
We All Say
When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes....
When I get older I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes....
Oooooh woowoo ooh Wooo ooohh ooohoh
And everybody will be singing it
Oooooh woowoo ooh Wooo ooohh ooohoh
And we all will be singing it.
