Wavin' Flag

11.06.2010 --- "World Cup 2010 South Africa" officially starts.

And here today I would like to share with you all, the theme song of this year's World Cup, "Wavin' Flag", a very catchy, meaningful and delightful song. It was introduced by my sister, and I sort of fell in love with it.

Before the song, I would like to share this Pepsi commercial which is very interesting.

"You know who we are?"
"Do you know WHO we are?"

Always a winner!!!:P

Ok, back to "Waving Flag". It was originally sang by K'naan. But, a few variations were made out of this, each having its own unique twist. So hope you all like it as much as I enjoyed it.

For the Haiti Earthquake, by various artists :

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
And then it goes back (3x)
ahhho ahhho ahhho

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

Out of the darkness
I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets
It can be bleak
Accept no defeat
Surrender retreat
(so we strugglin')
Fighting to eat
(and we wonderin')
When we'll be free
So we patiently wait
For that faithful day
It's not far away
But for now we say

When I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back (3x)
ahhho ahhho ahhho

So many wars
Settling scores
Bringin' 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 strugglin)
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

When I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back (3x)

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 (3x)
oh woh oh woh oh woh oh

And everybody will be singing it
And you and I will be singing it
And we all will be singing it
woh woh woh

When I get older I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag
And then it goes back (3x)

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 (3x)
oh oh oh

When I get older
When I get older
I will be stronger

Just like a wavin' flag (3x)
Flag flag
Just like a wavin' flag
