Sunday Serenade: Heal the world

2011, the year of the gentle rabbit, has not been bringing much harmony to the world.. With chaos (and even wars) over in the Middle East and natural disasters in Japan and Australia (the recent flash flood in Sydney), the world is in turmoil, while economic dread still hangs over most countries like dark clouds that refuse to go away and might even threaten thunderstorms.. 

A friend shared this song over FB, which stirred up mixed emotions in me.. MJ might not be with us now, but this song of his remains a classic that never fails to invoke a sense of brotherhood and kinship. We have the power to change many things in life, but we remain shackled to the whims and forces of Mother Earth..

It is time to heal the world.. :)


Heal the World
performed by Michael Jackson

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...


[chorus]
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
[end of chorus]

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
So Make A Better World
Make A Better World...

[chorus]

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'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...

[chorus x3]

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 (x 11)




Have a great week ahead! Stay safe and cheery!
