If you have a chance to pick up the song, I would recommend it. I also added the lyrics after the youtube video so you can see the meaning. Thanks!
Young Artists For Haiti – Wavin’ Flag Lyrics
[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
[1]
Where I got grown
but now its gone
[Avril Lavigne]
Out of the darkness
in came the carnage
threatening my very survival
[2]
Fractured my streets
and broke all my dreams
[3]
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
[4]
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
[5]
So many wars, settling scores
[6]
All that we’ve been through
and now there is more
[7]
I hear them say love is the way
[8]
Love is the answer that’s what they say
[9]
But were not just dreamers
of broken down breathers(?)
[10]
Our hand will reach us
and (?)
[Drake]
This can’t control us
no it can’t hold us down
[11]
We gon pick it up even though we still struggling
[12]
(?)
[all]
and we wondering
[12]
(?)
[All]
We patiently wait
for some other day
[13 & 14 - female duet]
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 we see the flag rise again
[14]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin’ flag
[15]
and then it goes back
[16]
and then it goes back
[14]
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.
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
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
But out of the darkness, I came the farthest
Among the hardest survival
Learn from these streets, it can be bleak
Except 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, so for now we say
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
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 Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And everybody will be singing it
(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And you and I will be singing it
(Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhh)
And we all will be singing it
(Ohhh Ohh Ohh Ohh)
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
When I get older, I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom, just like a Waving Flag
And then it goes back, and then it goes back
And then it goes back
When I get older, when I get older
I will be stronger, just like a Waving Flag
Just like a Waving Flag, just like a Waving flag
Flag, flag, Just like a Waving Flag.
