Encore: We are the World

This song is so classic. Originally made for Africa in the 80's due to famine that struck the continent. This was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie and produced by Quincy Jones.

In February 2010, again produced by Quincy Jones, a remake was made for the earthquake victims in Haiti, performed by over 80 artists like Justin Bieber, Adam Levine, Nicole of Pussycat Dolls, Will.I.Am, Jordin Sparks, T Pain, Snoop Dog, Wyclef Jean (who is from Haiti) to name a few. This was also used as the opening song in 2010 Olympics.

Everytime a calamity struck a country, this song always come to my mind. The words are very uplifting, inspiring us to help those in need and let them feel that they are not forgotten, that they are loved. Just read the lyrics below, swak na swak diba?

We Are The World 25 For Haiti

There comes a time
When we hear 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, somehow
Will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need,

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

Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
So their cries for help
Will not be in vain
We can't let them suffer
No, we cannot turn away
Right now they need
Our helping hand

Nou se mond la,
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

When you're down and out,
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change
Can only come
When we stand together as one

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 (x4)

We All Need Somebody
That we can lean on
When you wake up
Look around and see that
Your dreams gone
When the earthquakes
Would help you make it through the storm
When the floor breaks
A magic carpet to stand on
We are the world united
By love so strong
When the radio isn't on
You can hear this song
I got a light on the dark road
You're walking on
A sign posted to find
The dreams you thought was gone
Someone to help you move
The obstacles you stumbbled on
Someone to help you rebuild
After the rumbles gone
We are the world connected
By a common bond, LOVE
The whole planet singing along

PAPAYA
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

Everyday citizens,
Everybody pitching in
You say more love,
You say no more
You sensing more,
You sensing more love
You and I, you and I
Twelve days no water
Where's your will to live?
We'll amplify the love
And watch it multiply
Feeling like the world's end
We can make the world win
Like Katrina, Africa, Indonesia,
And now Haiti needs us They need us, they need us

We are the world,
We are the children
We are the ones
Who make a brighter day
So let's start giving (Nou se mond la)
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

Ha, Ha, Ha Haiti
Ha, Ha, Ha Haiti
Ha, Ha, Ha Haiti
Ha, Ha, Ha Haiti
