Heal The World


Listen to Michael Jackson:


【Intro】
Think about the generations 
and say that we wanna make it a better place
for our children and our children's children,
so that they know it's a better world for them,
and think they can make it a better place.

【1】
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.

【2】
If you want to know why
 there's 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...

*Repeat

【Bridge】
And the dream we were conceived in
 will reveal a joyful face.
And the world we once believed in
 will shine again in grace.
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!

【3】
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...

*Repeat (3 times)

There are people dying
 if you care enough for the living.
Make a better place for you and for me.
(2 times)

【Outro】
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)
