K'NAAN – Wavin' Flag
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 nations, all around us
Singing forever young, singing songs underneath the sun
Lets rejoice in the beautiful game,
And together at the end of the day.
