Wavin' Flag Lyrics - Singles - 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] 

Fractured my streets 

and broke all my dreams 

[Tyler Connolly of Theory of a Deadman] 

now 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 now 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 we will not see ya 

[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 vies (Fighting for our lives) 

[All] 

We patiently wait 

for some other day 

[Fefe Dobson and Esthero] 

thats too far away so right now I 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 the flag rise again 

[Nikki Yanofsky, Drake] 

When I get older 

I will be stronger 

They'll call me freedom 

Just like a wavin' flag 

[15] 

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
