LyricMeaning

Wavin' Flag
Nelly Furtado

When I get older, I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag


Born from a throne, older than Rome

But violent prone, poor people zone

But it's my home, all I have known

Where I got grown but now it's gone


Out of the darkness, in came the carnage

Threatening my very survival

Fractured my streets and broke all my dreams

Feels like defeat to wretched retreat


So we strugglin', fighting to eat

And we wonderin' if we'll be free

We cannot wait for some faithful day

It's too far away so right I'll say


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, aho, aho, aho


So many wars, settling scores

All that we've been through and now there is more

I hear them say love is the way

Love is the answer, that's what they say


But we're not just dreamers of broken down grievers

Our hand will reach us and we will not see ya

This can't control us, no it can't hold us down

We gonna pick it up even though we still struggling


Au nom de la survie

(In the name of survival)

And we wondering

Battant pour nos vie

(Fighting for our lives)


We patiently wait for some other day

That's too far away so right now we say


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, aho, aho, aho


Uh, well, alright, how come when the media stops covering

And there's a little help from the government

We forget about the people still struggling

And assume that it's really all love again? Nah


See, we don't have to wait for things to break apart

If you weren't involved before it's never too late to start

You probably think that it's too far to even have to care

Well, take a look at where you live, what if it happened there?

You have to know the urge to make a change lies within

And we can be the reason that we see the flag rise again


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

Then it goes back


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, aho, aho, aho


When I get older, when I get older

I will be stronger just like a waving flag
