《We Are the World》这首歌本是迈克尔·杰克逊1985年与莱昂内尔·里奇共同创作的歌曲,旨在号召大家援助非洲饥荒中的难民。现在,海地受难了,57位业余歌手,把自己唱这首歌的画面录下来(只有主唱部分,没有伴奏音乐),然后发起人加上伴奏音乐剪辑成这个平民版的《We Are the World》(《天下一家》)。不为让大家欣赏歌曲合成的技术,而是以爱的名义,献给海地的灾民。
爱无国界,愿海地早日重建。上帝保佑海地。
平民版《We Are the World》
附:《We Are the World》歌词
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it’s time to lend a hand to life,
The greatest gift of all
We can go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are 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
Send them your heart so they’ll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
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
Let us realize that a 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
(Repeat to fade)
