We are the World - USA for Africa

Eu devia ter os meus 12 ou 13 anos quando esta música saiu, lembro-me que decorei a letra em três tempos e depois andei a traduzir(porque na altura o meu inglês ainda era fraco) para português para perceber o que cantavam. Amei esta música desde o primeiro dia e ainda mexe muito comigo, ainda arrepia.
Não me importa se já passou à história, embora eu pense que não, porque afinal os problemas continuam os mesmos, continuo a ouvir sempre que me lembro.
A voz do Michael Jackson parece a de um anjo, a Cyndi Lauper é incrivel e a do Steave Perry (parece um indio), o Willie Nelson, bem acho que nunca me cansarei de ouvir isto...
Há já uns dias que me andava a lembrar de colocar este post e calhou ser hoje...
Valeu a intenção de cada uma destas pessoas sem colocar governos nem politicas neste assunto...

There comes a time when we heed a certain call (Lionel Richie)
When the world must come together as one (Lionel Richie & Stevie Wonder)
There are people dying (Stevie Wonder)
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life (Paul Simon)
The greatest gift of all (Paul Simon/Kenny Rogers)

We can't go on pretending day by day (Kenny Rogers)
That someone, somehow will soon make a change (James Ingram)
We're all a part of God's great big family (Tina Turner)
And the truth (Billy Joel)
You know love is all we need (Tina Turner/Billy Joel)

( CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving (Michael Jackson)
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Diana Ross)
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Michael Jackson/Diana Ross)

Well, send'em you your heart so they know that someone cares (Dionne Warwick)
And their lives will be stronger and free (Dionne Warwick/Willie Nelson)
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread (Willie Nelson)
And so we all must lend a helping hand (Al Jurreau)

( REPEAT CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children (Bruce Springsteen)
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving (Kenny Logins)
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Steve Perry)
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Daryl Hall)

When you're down and out there seems no hope at all (Michael Jackson)
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall (Huey Lewis)
Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come (Cyndi Lauper)
When we (Kim Carnes)
stand together as one (Kim Carnes/Cyndi Lauper/Huey Lewis)

(REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE )
