    Justin just did the ending but it was perfect.
    like, the whole song is 'the adults' telling us children to be stronger when gets older.
    and Justin with his soft voice representing 'the children' singing the ending was like "i will be stronger. i will."
    was like he just taught a hope from adults.
    god i love how they did for this song.

    This song makes me almost want to cry and I realize how lucky I am to live in a giving country. I've donated to many causes through school and online. I wish people actually had a heart and didn't dislike this video.

    Wavin' Flag"
    [All:]
    When I get older
    I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom
    Just like a wavin flag
    [K'naan:]
    Born from 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:]
    So we strugglin'
    [Kardinal Offishall:]
    Fighting to eat
    [All:]
    And we wonderin'
    [Kardinal Offishall:]
    If we'll be free
    [Jully Black:]
    We cannot wait for some faithful day
    It's too far away so right now I'll say
    [All - 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
    Ahhho ahhho ahhho
    [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:]
    But were not just dreamers
    Of broken down grievers
    [Hawsley Workman:]
    Our hand will reach us
    And we will not see ya
    [Drake:]
    This can't control us
    No it can't hold us down
    [Chin Injeti:]
    We gon pick it up even though we still struggling
    [Pierre Lapointe:]
    Au nom de la survie (In the name of survival)
    [All:]
    And we wondering
    [Pierre Lapointe:]
    Battant pour nos vies (Fighting for our lives)
    [All:]
    We patiently wait
    For some other day
    [Fefe Dobson and Esthero:]
    Thats too far away so right now I say
    [All - 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
    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
    [Drake - Rapping:]
    Uhh... well alright
    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 its really all love again nahh
    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 the flag rise again
    [Nikki Yanofsky, Drake:]
    When I get older
    I will be stronger
    They'll call me freedom
    Just like a wavin' flag
    [15:]
    And then it goes back
    [Justin Nozuka:]
    And then it goes back
    [Nikki Yanofsky:]
    Then it goes back
    [Chorus - All:]
    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
    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
    [Justin Bieber:]
    When I get older
    When I get older
    I will be stronger
    Just like a waving flag
