we are the world song~
TRANSCRIPT
Jackson went on to become one of the most internationally famous
award-winning solo pop sensations to date. Jackson's 2009 death stirred
controversy and was ultimately ruled a homicide.
Dr. Conrad Murray, who had been caring for the pop star at the time of
his death, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter on
November 7, 2011, later receiving a four-year prison sentence.
Dubbed the "King of Pop," singer-songwriter Michael Jackson was born in Gary,
Indiana, on August 29, 1958. As a child, he
performed as the lead singer of the Jackson
family's popular Motown group, the Jackson 5.
A founding member of the Commodores, Lionel Richie's debut solo album was a hit, peaking at No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard
chart in 1982, while "Truly"—a ballad from
that album—reached No. 1 and won him a
Grammy.
He performed one of his most popular hits, "All
Night Long" (1983), at the closing ceremony of the
1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games and co-wrote the famine relief song "We
Are the World" with Michael Jackson in 1993.
This song won the Grammys like Song Of The Year
and Record Of The Year.
The song was released on March
7, 1985, as the only song from the
album.
This was recorded on
January 28, 1985, the day of the
American Music Awards.
Stars like Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Bruce
Springsteen and Billy Joel all came together to make
the song.
This was a benefit single for victims of famine in Africa. It
raised over $60 Million, which was
distributed to Ethiopia, Sudan, and other impoverished
countries.
"We Are the World" is a song and charity single originally recorded by the supergroup
USA for Africa in 1985.
It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, and produced by Quincy Jones and
Michael Omartian for the album We Are the World.
The last year, after the major earthquake in Haiti on January 12,
2010, artists got together once more to record a new version of
the song.
This time, musicians as weirdly diverse as Wyclef Jean, Carlos
Santana, and Taylor Swift performed the song, and all the
proceeds will go to help the people of Haiti. Find out what Dale and Ella think about “We Are the World 25
for Haiti.”
There is a time when we should hear the certain calls
'Cause the world it seems it's right in this limb
'Cause there's a chance for taking in needing our own lives
It seems we need nothing at all
I used to feel that I should give away my heart
And it shows that fear of needing it there
Then I read the headlines and it said they're dying there
And it shows that we must heed instead
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 chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
Give in your heart and you will see that someone cares
'Cause you know that they can feed them all
Then I read the paper and it said that you've been denied
And it shows the second we will call
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 chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
Now there's a time when we must love them all
And it seems that life, it don't make love at all
But if you'd been there, and I'll love you more and more
It seems in life, I didn't do that
We are the world, the world
We are the children, are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving, let's start giving
There's a chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
We are the world, are the world
We are the children, are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving, let's start giving
But there's a chance we're taking, taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
We are the world, shalom
We are the children, shalingin
We are the ones who make a brighter day, shalom
So let's start giving, 'cause that's what we're being
There's a chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
Come on, yeah
We are the world, shalom
We are the children, shalingin
We are the ones who make a brighter day, shalom
So let's start giving, 'cause that's what we're being
There's a chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
Oh yeah, we got it
We are the world, shalom
We are the children, shalingin
We are the ones who make a brighter day, shalom
So let's start giving, cause that's what we're being
There's a chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
