K'naan Speaks

It started out as my song

but then it became their song

all of these artists' song

and it's going to be haiti's song

Chorus 1:

When I get older

I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom

just like a Waving Flag

Verse 1:

K'naan:

Born to a throne older than Rome

a Violent prone poor people zone

Nelly Furtado:

But it's my home all I have known

Sam Roberts:

Where I got grown but now it's gone

Avril Lavigne:

Out of the darkness in came the carnage

threatening my our very survival

Pierre Bouvier

Fractured from streets and broke all my dreams

Brandon Lehti:

now feels like defeat, don't red should retreat,

Refrain 1:

So we struggling fighting to eat and

We wondering when we'll be free

we cannot wait for some fateful day

It's too far away so right now we say

Chorus 2:

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 oh

Verse 2:

Lights:

So many wars settling scores,

Deryck Whibley:

All out we've been through and now there is more

Serena Ryder:

I heard them say love is the way

Jacob Hoggard:

Love is the answer that's what they say

Emily Haines:

But we're not just dreamers of broken down river

Hawksley Workman:

How can we reach us if they're--- too routine far

Tyler Connoly:

This can't control us no they couldn't hold us down

Chin Injeti:

We may pick it up even though we're still

Refrain 2:

So we struggling Au nom de la survie

We wondering Battent pour nos vie

we patiently wait for some other day

It's too far away so right now we say

(Repeat Chorus 2 twice)

Bridge:

Canadian Rapper Drake:

how can do the media stop covering

it's little help from the government

we forget about the people who is struggling

I'm so nevrous and awful now and then and

no see we don't have to wait for things

to break apart if you weren't involve

before it's not too late to start

You probably think that it's

too far to even have to care

well take a look the way you lived

what if it happened there

You have to know that urge to make

a change lives but then we can be

a reason that they see the blacks rise again

(Repeat Chorus 2 sang by Nikki Yanofski)

Chorus 3: Modulate from C to D

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 oh

(Repeat)

Outro:

Justin Bieber:

When I get older

When I get older

I will be stronger

Bm A D(hold)

Just like the waving flag
