WAVING FLAG

Chorus

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

Born to a throne stronger than rome
But violent prone poor people zone
But it is my home. All I have known
Where I get grown street 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

[ back to 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 say treat us
Try to control us, they couldn’t hold us
Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers






Behind the song

Waving flags is a song where the song was created to welcome the World Cup. Where everyone is enthusiastic about welcoming this world cup, except me, hihi..
But this song is made not only to welcome the World Cup, but also to burn the spirit of the players ball. Because behind the songs have a story related to the singer "Knaan". Knaan is a singer who comes from Africa. This song tells the struggle of African people in getting the real freedom. It was said that once the African nation ruled by Rome. So that's what makes them struggling to survive. They go through life without direction. To get food and drink is a very difficult thing for them. But they never gave up, they always struggle against the enemy with everything they have (although in reality they are poor). But they always believe that happiness is in front of the eyes and they will get it soon. They also believe they will leave the poverty and oppression soon .
And the singer makes this song so that all players have high motivation to play the field. The spirit of a ball player like flags flying. Because for soccer players, soccer field is their home. Where to play football they can resume their lives, feed their families and do what they want. They fought in an area of the game to get something valuable in their lives. They fought like a flag in, someone who has real freedom.
