Wavin' Flag (Young Artists for Haiti)

[All]

When I get older

I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom

Just like a wavin flag

[K'naan]

Born from a throne

Older than Rome

But violent prone

Poor people zone

[Nelly Furtado]

But it's my home

All I have known

[Sam Roberts]

Where I got grown

but now its gone

[Avril Lavigne]

Out of the darkness

in came the carnage

threatening my very survival

[Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan]

Fractured my streets

and broke all my dreams

[Tyler Connolly of Theory of a Deadman]

Feels like defeat to wretched retreat

[All]

So we strugglin'

[Kardinal Offishall]

Fighting to eat

[All]

And we wonderin'

[Kardinal Offishall]

If we'll be free

[Jully Black]

We cannot wait for some faithful day

it's too far away so right I'll say

[All - Chorus]

When I get older

I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom

Just like a waving flag

(And then it goes back x3)

Ahhho ahhho ahhho

[Lights]

So many wars, settling scores

[Deryck Whibley of Sum 41]

All that we've been through

and now there is more

[Serena Ryder]

I hear them say love is the way

[Jacob Hoggard of Hedley]

Love is the answer that's what they say

[Emily Haines]

But were not just dreamers

of broken down grievers

[Hawsley Workman]

Our hand will reach us

and (?)

[Drake]

This can't control us

no it can't hold us down

[Chin Injeti]

We gon pick it up even though we still struggling

[Pierre Lapointe]

Au nom de la survie (In the name of survival)

[all]

and we wondering

[Pierre Lapointe]

Battant pour nos vie (Fighting for our lives)

[All]

We patiently wait

for some other day

[Fefe Dobson and Esthero]

thats too far away so right now we say

[All - Chorus]

[Drake - Rapping]

Uhh - well alright

How come when the media stops covering

and there's a little help from the government

we forget about the people still struggling

and assume that its really all love again, nahh

see we don't have to wait for things to break apart

if you weren't involved before it's never too late to start

you probably think that it's too far to even have to care

well take a look at where you live what if it happened there?

you have to know the urge to make a change lies within

and we can be the reason that they see their flag rise again

[Nikki Yanofsky & Drake]

When I get older

I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom

Just like a wavin' flag

[Matt Mays]

and then it goes back

[Justin Nozuka]

and then it goes back

[Nikki Yanofsky]

Then it goes back

[Chorus - All]

[Justin Bieber]

When I get older

When I get older

I will be stronger

just like a waving flag.
