昨日 「たけしのそのときカメラは回っていた」 を見て 「We Are The World」のレコーディング現場を映していました。
その時は 世界が1つになることが大事 と言っていました。
しかしながら 理想と現実は違いますね。
でもこの歌を聴くと伝わる物があります。
歌詞
There comes a time when we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying And its time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day That someone, somewhere will soon make a change We are all a part of Gods great big family And the truth, you know, Love is all we need
[Chorus] We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So lets start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives Its 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
[Chorus] We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So lets start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives Its 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 well Let us realize, oohh that a change can only come When we stand together as one
[Chorus Repeat] We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So lets start giving There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives Its true we'll make a better day Just you and me
Just You and me
