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

Heal the world to make a better place

Heal the World - Michael Jackson

Despite other negative opinions or prejudice against some of his decision, Michael Jackson is truly regarded as the 'King of Pop', but this name does not suite not only because of his musical talents and brilliance, I would like say that because of his characteristic to love and embrace the world. It is easy to become arrogant and fall astray, when one reaches in such recognition like Michael Jackson. But, Jackson also sought for a better a place. He used his fame to guide his musical followers to something meaningful. Through his music, he embraced a powerful idea that was needed at his era.

The chorus of the lyrics, it asks its listeners to take care of the people for themselves and the entire human race and to heal the world. We are not doing this that benefits others, but for ourselves and for the neighbors. Or else, we would see more people dying day by day. The wrong people will face the consequences. For the sake of the human race, we should truly make a better place. Michael Jackson's song fits with the motto and the vision of HWPL, as they work for the human race by working together with others. We hope that more people from different background could join HWPL and the Chairman to heal the world.

Heal the World by Michael Jackson

Heal the world

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
