(Drake)
how come when the media stops covering
and it’s a little help from the government
and we forget about the people still struggling
and soon then 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 earths to make a change lies within
and we can be the reason they see their flag rise again
(Nikki Yanofski & Drake)

stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)

when I get older I will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
Wahhhoooh
(Justin Bieber)
when I get older
when I get older
I will be stronger
just like a wavin flag…

btw, Yanofsky performed a stellar version of The Rankins 'Rise Again' at the Paralympic Opening Ceremonies...that and the Terry Fox tributes were real authentic moments...Aimee and Chantal were nice to see and hear...plus, the flame lighting and hydaulics went off without a hitch
CTV tape delayed coverage to seems discriminatory...then again I suppose this is how NBC delivers the 'able-bodied' Olympics to its nation...but i do find it stressful going about town trying to avoid the wheelchair curling results
not to derail, but Happy Pi Day to all
