"We Are The World"
There comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We're 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
Well, send'em you your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us
By turning stone to bread
And 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
Well, well, well, let's realize
That one change can only come
When we stand together as one
Hoje, com a notícia do lançamento do DVD Live Aid, apetece olhar para trás e tentar perceber se a inovadora ideia de Bob Geldoff teve consequências importantes. O Live Aid veio tentar resolver o problema da fome em África, e é claro que o dinheiro conseguido não foi despiciendo para esta causa. Mas a verdade é que não houve políticas suficientes para conseguir que, 20 anos depois, as imagens das famintas crianças etíopes sejam apagadas. Pior, hoje o problema alargou-se: agora temos a fome e a SIDA em África para resolver...
