K'Naan Lyrics

"Wavin' Flag (The Celebration Mix)"

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.

Give me freedom,
Give me fire,
Give me reason,
Take me higher.

See the champions
Take the field now.
Unify us,
Make us feel proud.

In the streets our
Heads are liftin'
As we lose our
Inhibition.

Celebration.
It surrounds us.
Every nation.
All around us.

Staying forever young,
Singin' songs underneath the 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.

When I get older,
I will be stronger,
They'll call me "Freedom",
Just like a wavin' flag.

So, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.

Give you freedom,
Give you fire,
Give you reason,
Take you higher.

See the champions
Take the field now.
Unify us,
Make us feel proud.

In the streets our
Heads are liftin'
As we lose our
Inhibition.

Celebration.
It surrounds us.
Every nation.
All around us.

Staying forever young,
Singin' songs underneath the 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.

When I get older,
I will be stronger,
They'll call me "Freedom",
Just like a wavin' flag.

So, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.

We all say,

When I get older,
I will be stronger,
They'll call me "Freedom",
Just like a wavin' flag.

When I get older,
I will be stronger,
They'll call me "Freedom",
Just like a wavin' flag.

So, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.
Now, wave your flag.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.
And everybody will be singin' it.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh.
And we all will be singin' it.

In 2010, this became K'Naan's most popular song after Coca-Cola decided to use it as its promotional anthem for the first FIFA World Cup held in Africa.

The original song has lyrics telling about war-torn Somali, and how the people of the country strive for freedom and peace.

This international version of the song, made for 2010 FIFA World Cup in Africa, reached the top-ten in many charts around the world becoming a global hit.

This track was entitled "Wavin' Flag (The Celebration Mix)" to set it apart from the original Canadian and charity (Young Artists for Haiti) hits.
