Wavin' Flag by Young Artists For Haiti

...
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin flag
Born from a throne
Older than Rome
But violent prone
Poor people zone
But it's my home
All I have known
Where I got grown
But now it's gone
Out of the darkness
In came the carnage
Threatening my very survival
Fractured my streets
And broke all my dreams
Now feels like defeat
To wretched retreat
So we strugglin'
Fighting to eat
And we wonderin'
If we'll be free
We cannot wait for some faithful day
It's too far away
So right now I'll 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
(Oh oh)
So many wars
Settling scores
All that we've been through
And now there is more
I hear them say
Love is the way
Love is the answer
That's what they say
But we're not just dreamers
Of broken down grievers
Our hand will reach us
And we will not see you
This can't control us
No, it can't hold us down
We gonna pick it up even though we still
Struggling
(Au nom de la survie)
And we wondering
(Battant pour nos vies)
We patiently wait
For some other day
It's too far away
So right now I'll 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
(Oh oh)
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
(Oh oh)
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 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 urge to make a change lies within
And we can be the reason that they see their flag rise again
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
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
(Oh oh)
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
(Oh oh)

When I get older
When I get older
I will be stronger
Just like a waving flag
