Justin Bieber - Wavin' Flag (Young Artists for Haiti) lyrics

[Intro] When I get older I will be stronger They'll call me freedom Just like a waving flag [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] So we struggling, fighting to eat And we wondering, of we'll be free We cannot wait for some faithful day It's too far away so right I'll say [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 were not just dreamers of broken down grievers A hand will reach us and will not forsake us This can't control us, no it can't hold us down We gon' pick it up even though we still [Pre-Chorus] Struggling, au nom de la survie And we wondering, battant pour nos vie We patiently wait for some other day That's too far away so right now I say [[Chorus x2] [Verse 3] How come when the media stops covering and there's a little help from the government We forget about the people still struggling and a**ume that its 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 [Chorus x2] [Outro] When I get older, when I get older I will be stronger, just like a waving flag
