The Jinxed post -- But a Gr8 Song neways

One more great song, Just wanted to share these beautiful lyrics of Michael Jackson’s Heal The World. One of MJ’s lesser known songs. Actually MJ also setup the Heal the World Foundation for the aid of children all around the world, especially Africa. Dunno what has happened to the foundation. Even the website doesn’t exist anymore. Anyways, here are the lyrics.

HEAL THE WORLD
Written and composed by Michael Jackson













(Think about, um, the generations, and that we want to make it a better place for our children and our children's children so that they know it's a better world for them. I think 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

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...

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
Would 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'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

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

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

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


This one’s got a great video too… Quite a thoughtful song. Especially love the words that the lil’ kid says at the start of the song – something for each one of us to ponder about and for each one of us to try follow. Soothing music, lilting voice with MJ at his best, absolutely marvellous and thought provoking lyrics – subtly embedded with a message, great choreography with its own fair share of disturbing yet inspiring scenes – All in all, one Classic Song!!!

NO obviously not at all.But i'm interested to listen bcz i cud find such a theme or message hidden in this particular song.Actually i have been thinkin tat MJ's music means it's jus a bulk of beats n his video means bulk of steps or break dance.I realized now...Ok then Tx aadi....
