We are the World


The song "We are the World" is sung by multiple artists, which include Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and Lionel Richie. The message of the song is expressed clearly through its lyric. The title of the song unites all singers and the listeners to one group "we". We are no longer defined "I am....", but as "We are". Just like other writers and famous figures in the world, who wrote about peace, the title is defining all of us as one as it says "We are the world".

The lyrics of the song alerts its listeners of the gravity of the war, in which it causes death. It calls out to people to give help to those, who we do not call strangers, but as family. This is why we are the world and we are the ones who can alter our day and life. And most definitely, we are able to make a better day, if we all work together and start to give. What can we give? We can give our love and throw away hatred, because of a small difference. As we start to identify ourselves as one, then peace will come.

"We're The World (USA For Africa)"
There comes a time when we heed 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 all are 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
