Lyrics:
(All)
when I get older I will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin’ flag
(Knaan)
Born to 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 & Kardinal Offishall)
(so we struggling)
fighting to eat
(and we wondering)
if we’ll be free
Jully Black:
we cannot wait
for some faithful day
it’s too far away
so right now I say
(All)
when I get older I will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
Wahhhoooh
(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 of Metric)
but were not just dreamers
of broken down breathers
(Hawksley Workman — known as Hawksley Workman)
a hand will reach us
and si buenos dias
(Drake)
they can’t control us
no it can’t hold us down
(Chin Injeti)
we gonna pick it up even though we still
(Pierre Lapointe)
strugglin
Au nom de la survie
and we wondering
Batant pour nos vies
(Esthero & Corb Lund)
who patiently wait
for some other day
(Esthero & Fefe Dobson)
that’s too far away
so right now I say
(All)
when I get older I will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
Wahhhoooh
when I get older I will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
Wahhhoooh
(Drake)
how come when the media stops covering
and it’s a little help from the government
and we forget about the people still struggling
and soon then it’s really all love again
nah 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 earths to make a change lies within
and we can be the reason 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 waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
Wahhhoooh
when I get older I will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
Wahhhoooh
(Justin Bieber)
when I get older
when I get older
I will be stronger
just like a wavin flag
