Let’s enjoy a song — Heal the world
If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of 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
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living So make a better world
Make a better place ...
Make a little space
Make a better place ...
And the dream we were
conceived in
Heal the world
Will reveal a joyful face
Make it a better place
And the world we once believed in
For you and for me
Will shine again in grace
And the entire human race
Then why do we keep strangling
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Make it a better place
Though it's plain to see
For you and for me
This world is heavenly
Be god's glow
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
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 ...
Heal the world we are living
Save it for our children
You and for me ...
by Michael Jackson
