Wavin' flag:

Each student will write at least these 3 verses to cover 1 topic
Oh, oh, oh, oh ,.....
Give me freedom, give me fire,
Give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now,
You define us, make us feel proud

In the streets our heads are lifting,
As we lose our inhibition,
Celebration, it's around us,
Every nations, all around us

Singing forever young,
Singing songs underneath that sun
Let's rejoice in the beautiful game,
And together at the end of the day we all say,


The group will work together to write the chorus

[Chorus:]
When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me 'Freedom', just like a wavin' flag

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...
Oh, oh, oh, oh ,.....
