0:44 - 1:15

Out of the darkness, I came the farthest

 Among the hardest survival

 Learn from these streets, it can be bleak

 Accept no defeat, surrender, retreat

So we struggling, fighting to eat

 And we wondering when we'll be free

 So we patiently wait for that fateful day

 It's not far away, but for now we say

When I get older I will be stronger

 They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag

 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 wavin' flag

And then it goes back, and then it goes back

And then it goes back, and then it goes

When I get older I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back, and then it goes back

And then it goes back, oh

When I get older

When I get older

I will be stronger

Just like a wavin' flag

Just like a wavin' flag

Just like a wavin' flag

Flag, flag

Just like a wavin' flag 

Read the lyrics. How do you recognise the Third World in this part of the song?

Out of the darkness, I came the farthest

 Among the hardest survival

 Learn from these streets, it can be bleak

 Accept no defeat, surrender, retreat

So we struggling, fighting to eat

 And we wondering when we'll be free

 So we patiently wait for that fateful day

 It's not far away, but for now we say

When I get older I will be stronger

 They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag

 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 wavin' flag

And then it goes back, and then it goes back

And then it goes back, and then it goes

When I get older I will be stronger

They'll call me freedom just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back, and then it goes back

And then it goes back, oh

When I get older

When I get older

I will be stronger

Just like a wavin' flag

Overseas, yeah, we tryna stop terrorism

But we still got terrorists here livin'

In the USA, the big CIA

The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK

But if you only have love for your own race

Then you only leave space to discriminate

And to discriminate only generates hate

And when you hate, then you're bound to get irate, yeah

Madness is what you demonstrate

And that's exactly how anger works and operates

Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight

Take control of your mind and meditate

Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'

Children hurt, hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preach

Or would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father, help us

Send some guidance from above

'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

Where is the love (love)

Oh, send them your heart

So they know that someone cares

And their lives will be stronger and free

As God has shown us by turning stones to bread

And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving

Oh, there's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me 

Think back to the story about Amara. Can you connect one of her observations to the lyrics?

Oh, send them your heart

So they know that someone cares

And their lives will be stronger and free

As God has shown us by turning stones to bread

And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving

Oh, there's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
