When this blog began, I shared a collaboration video of Michael Jackson's song "We Are The World," a song where artists collaborated together to help raise money and make a change. This past week has shown how people around our country are once again coming together to support a cause and, following that them, I have another Michael Jackson song to share with you today. This song is called "Heal the World." The video that I have to share with you today is performed by children, though, rather than adults. This video was put together by a group called Maati Baani, a world music duo from India. It was originally intended as a tribute to Michael Jackson on his birthday, but today I share it with you as a message of hope to go along with the protesting that is happening in our country. I enjoyed listening to the lyrics and watching these talented children perform this song and I hope that you will, too. Click here to watch and listen to "Heal the World." I have also copied the lyrics below.
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 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 it a better place For you and for me If you want to know why There's love that cannot lie Love is strong It only cares of joyful giving If we try we shall see In this bliss we cannot feel Fear of dread We stop existing and start living Then it feels that always Love's enough for us growing So make a better world Make a better place 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 And the dream we were 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 its 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 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 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 You and for me
