"Wave Your Flag" by K'Naan

Here's another great song!  There are two versions of this song.  One was made for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.  K'Naan also wrote a longer version which talks about how difficult it was for him as a child growing up in Liberia, in Africa, and about hope and freedom for all people.  Listen to, and watch, the first video, which is the 2010 version.  Then listen to it again and, in your notebook or on a piece of paper, write the missing words in the text of the lyrics below.  Then listen to the song again and again until you learn the words!  Then listen to, and watch, the second video.  Which one do you like better?

"The Little Orphan Annie" was a cartoon strip in the 1920's:

Then a musical was made, based on the cartoon strip.  In 1982 the musical was turned into a movie.  This version of "Annie" takes place during the Great Depression-  a period of about 10 years in which many people were terribly poor and couldn't get jobs.  President Franklin D. Roosevelt (or FDR) tried to help poor people by creating new jobs doing public projects like building parks and roads, planting trees, and fixing school buildings.

In 2014 another movie was made.  This one takes place nowadays, in New York City.

Lyrics:

The sun'll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun

Just thinkin' about tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
'Til there's none

When I'm stuck a with day that's gray, and lonely,
I just stick out my chin and Grin, and say,
Oh

The sun'll come out t
omorrow
So ya gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I love ya tomorrow
You're always a day away
​When I'm stuck a with day
That's gray, and lonely,
I just stick out my chin and grin, and Say,
Oh

The sun'll come out tomorrow,
So ya gotta hang on 'til tomorrow,
Come what may

Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always a day away

Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always a day away.
