We Are World

by. Michael Jackson dkk

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying, and its time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We cant go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all part of gods 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 lets start giving
Theres a choice were making
Were saving our own lives
Its true well 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 stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a choice were making
Were saving our own lives
Its true well make a better day
Just you and me
When youre down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe theres no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving

Theres a choice were making
Were saving our own lives
Its true well make a better day
Just you and me

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving

Theres a choice were making
Were saving our own lives
Its true well make a better day
Just you and me

We are the world…

Heal The World

spoken:
Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better
world for our children and our children’s children. So that they know
it’s a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better
place.

There’s a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.
And if you really try
You’ll find there’s no need to cry
In this place you’ll feel
There’s no hurt or sorrow.
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

If you want to know why
There’s a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love’s enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race.
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

Bridge:
And the dream we would conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify it’s soul
Though it’s plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God’s glow.

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel
You are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we’ll cry happy tears
See the nations turn
Their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space to make a better place.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.

You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children

Well, lirik dua lagu di atas merupakan lagunya Michael Jackson. Semuanya berawal dari kuliah gw tadi pagi, Filantropi Sosial. Dan kuliah gw tadi diisi dengan bernyanyi bersama haha -__-“. Dosen gw gw tadi merefleksikan apa yang kite pelajari dari sebuah lagu, yakni lagunya Michael Jackson dkk yang judulnya We Are The World. 

Lagu yang menyentuh menurut gw. Dimana lagu ini menceritakan apa yang sesungguhnya dibutuhkan oleh kaum marjinal di seluruh dunia. Bahkan lagu ini masih sangat pas menggambarkan keadaan dunia pada saat sekarang, padahal lagu ini dibuat puluhan tahun silam. Lagu lainnya yang pas menurut gw ialah lagu Heal The World-nya Michael Jackson sama lagunya Ebiet G. Ade yang entah apa judulnya gw lupa. Haha

Keadaan dunia sekarang ini amburadul. Liat aja di negeri kita sendiri, bencana dimana-mana, kekeringan melanda sebagian besar kawasan. Keadaan yang cukup memprihatinkan bukan? Lalu apa sebenernya yang bisa kita lakukan bagi dunia?

 

Yang bisa menjawab pertanyaan tersebut ialah diri kita sendiri. Apa yang ingin kita lakukan untuk dunia kita?
