Se em “Earth Song”, Michael Jackson falou, de maneira mais clara, sobre como o homem destrói o meio ambiente, extermina os animais, queima, desmata e joga bomba em outras nações, em “Heal the World”, o Rei do Pop “apela” para o lado mais humano do homem e pede que a sociedade pense em si mesma e também nas futuras gerações, nas crianças que herdarão esse planeta. “Faça desse mundo um lugar melhor para mim e para você”, repete. Para Michael, apenas o amor fraternal será capaz de salvar a humanidade. “No meu coração eu sinto que somos todos irmãos.”
Heal the world – Michael Jackson
Think about the generations and they say:
We want to 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 if they can
Make it a better place?
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 it a better place
For you and for me
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
So make a better world
Make a better world
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
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
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
