We Are The World is a song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, produced and conducted by Quincy Jones and recorded by a supergroup of 45 popular musicians which includes the song writers themselves along with Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Diana Ross and a few others with MJ's siblings, Marlon, Randy, Tito, La Toya, Janet, Jackie, also Smokey Robinson and other famous musicians as the extras.
This single was intended to raise funds to help famine-relief efforts in Ethiopia, which had experienced unusual drought and political instability in 1984/1985. Imagine how brilliant MJ was and has ever been. He've always thought of the poor. Here's the link to the video and the meaningful lyrics of the song. A superb combination of all the musicians. Rock and roll! Click here to watch. There comes a time When we head a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying And it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all We can't go on Pretending day by day That someone, somewhere will soon make a change We are all a part of God's great big family And the truth, you know love is all we need (Chorus) We are the world We are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving 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 Send them your heart So they'll know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stone to bread So we all must lend a helping hand Repeat Chorus When you're down and out There seems no hope at all But if you just believe There's no way we can fall Well, well, well, well, let us realize That a change will only come When we stand together as one Repeat Chorus -The greatest entertainer of all time.- |
