As I took the bus to church yesterday, my sister showed me this music video on her hand phone. The name of the song is "We are the world" and was sung by many different artistes. I believe many of you have heard the song as it was played on TV countless times but for the benefit of those who have not yet heard it.
I was very touched when I first saw this video. It comforted me to see that all my favourite artistes were part of this short video to help the people in Haiti and not just focusing on earning money. I think this video could not have come at a better time, with all the disasters currently happening in the world today, like the earthquake in Chile and the Tsunami in Japan. This video calls for us to be united as one world and to help each other in need. All these are summarized in the rap - "We all need somebody that we can lean on, When you wake up look around and see that your dreams gone, When the earth quakes we’ll help you make it through the storm, When the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on, We are the World united by love so strong, When the radio isn’t on you can hear the songs, A guided light on the dark road your walking on, A sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone, Someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on, Someone to help you rebuild after the rubble’s gone, We are the World connected by a common bond, Love the whole planet sing it along". They have done their part, now it is our turn to do our part as WE ARE THE WORLD.
