We Are the World

There is a time when we should hear the certain calls
'Cause the world it seems it's right in this line
'Cause there's a chance for taking in needing our own lives
It seems we need nothing at all
I used to feel I should give away my heart
And it shows that fear of needing them
Then I read the headlines and it said they're dying there
And it shows that we must heed instead

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 chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me

Give in your heart and you will see that someone cares
'Cause you know that they can feed them all
Then I read the paper and it said that you've been denied
And it shows the second we will call

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 chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me

Now there's a time when we must love them all
And it seems that life, it don't make love at all
But if you'd been there, and I'll love you more and more
It seems in life, I didn't do that

We are the world, the world
We are the children, are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving, let's start giving
There's a chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me

We are the world, are the world
We are the children, are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving, let's start giving
But there's a chance we're taking, taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me

We are the world, shalom
We are the children, shalingin
We are the ones who make a brighter day, shalom
So let's start giving, 'cause that's what we're being
There's a chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
Come on, yeah

We are the world, shalom
We are the children, shalingin
We are the ones who make a brighter day, shalom
So let's start giving, 'cause that's what we're being
There's a chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me
Oh yeah, we got it

We are the world, shalom
We are the children, shalingin
We are the ones who make a brighter day, shalom
So let's start giving, cause that's what we're being
There's a chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day

Unindo Vozes por um Mundo Melhor: A Mensagem de We Are The World

A canção 'We Are The World', interpretada por Michael Jackson e um supergrupo de artistas conhecidos como U.S.A. For Africa, é um hino de compaixão, solidariedade e ação humanitária. Lançada em 1985, a música foi escrita por Michael Jackson e Lionel Richie e produzida por Quincy Jones, com o objetivo de arrecadar fundos para combater a fome na África, mais especificamente na Etiópia, que na época enfrentava uma devastadora crise de fome. A letra da música é um apelo à união e ao altruísmo, destacando a responsabilidade coletiva de cuidar uns dos outros e do mundo em que vivemos.

O refrão 'We are the world, we are the children' é um chamado à ação, enfatizando que todos fazem parte de uma grande família global e que cada pessoa tem o poder de contribuir para um futuro mais brilhante. A música sugere que, ao invés de esperar por mudanças vindas de outros lugares ou pessoas, cada indivíduo pode fazer a diferença através da generosidade e do amor. A repetição da frase 'There's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives' reforça a ideia de que ajudar os outros é também uma forma de autopreservação, pois vivemos em um mundo interconectado onde o bem-estar de um afeta todos.

Além de seu impacto imediato na arrecadação de fundos, 'We Are The World' tornou-se um símbolo de esperança e colaboração internacional. A música reuniu algumas das maiores estrelas da música da época, mostrando que a arte pode ser uma poderosa ferramenta de mudança social. A mensagem da canção permanece relevante, lembrando as gerações futuras da importância da empatia e da ação coletiva para enfrentar os desafios globais.
