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.
