We Are The World

There comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, 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’re 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

Well, send them you your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us
By turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

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

When you’re down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There’s no way we can fall
Well, well, well, let’s realize
That one 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

    The real sad thing …
    The real sad thing here is the existence of worms like you, I mean, you are nothing man, you are less than , even excrement is needed to nourish earth but nobody needs parasites. So you have the right of keeping parasitizing Michael but it would be better for everybody if you die soon. Really man/woman , just kill yourself.

    No, we still have …
    No, we still have you. Just the fact that your channel is about hating a single human being demonstrates what a pathetic life do you have. Technically YOU ARE A PARASITE, you can’t live by yourself, you can’t do anything productive in life so you need to parasitize a real human being not just to feed your pathetic ego but to actually have a reason to live. But I think that you are actually a smart amoeba because you chose the greatest artist ever to satisfy your pathetic needs.
