3 Sports Songs that Can Make You Feel Alive before a Match

1. Waving Flag

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, and then it goes back

And then it goes back, oh

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 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, 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, and then it goes back

And then it goes back, oh

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 deceive us

Try to control us, they couldn't hold us

'Cause we just move forward like Buffalo Soldiers

But we struggling, 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, and then it goes back

And then it goes back, 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, and then it goes back

And then it goes back, and then it goes

And then it goes

And everybody will be singing it

And you and I will be singing it

And we all will be singing it

Oh, oh, oh

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

And then it goes back, 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, and then it goes back

And then it goes back, oh

When I get older

When I get older

I will be stronger

Just like a wavin' flag

Just like a wavin' flag

Just like a wavin' flag

Flag, flag

Just like a wavin' flag

2. You’ll Never Walk Alone

When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high

And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm

There's a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind

Walk on through the rain

Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone

This 1945 song of triumph amidst adversity was as famous in the post-World War II scenario as it is now, as the anthem for LFC (Liverpool Football Club). This song has been re-discovered by Gerry in light of modern sports enthusiasm. This song of high support, energy, and synergy is what drives the fans of Liverpool now, apart from the team. It also serves as replenishment for the players on the field to go on.
