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 Plan)
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 grievers

(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
battons 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

And it's "broken down grievers" not "broken down breathers" :)

[SimplePlanRoxDavidD1]

@ShotokanKarateRules Okay thanks, 

[aliensnoman]

@SammySueRice haha man all the other Americans here should feel ashamed that this guy here is American.

this is supposed to bring the world together to help out. Not start discrimination like this guy.

Nice work, Really classy.

[canadianaerospace14]

@SammySueRice wow are you serious? do you are so freakin naive. first off the u.s. doesn't have "their music". Second, there really isnt anything cultural in this video, just music. Third, i am an american and am embarrassed to see you write such shit. I vote you get deported. To canada, maybe youll gain some respect for who they are. Naive little child holy smokes.

[RobertandKirsten]
