We are the World

Another year has come and gone, yet we are no step closer to the ‘I have a dream’ reverence worded by Martin Luther King. It seems that our fears are holding us hostage to the beauty that ebbs and leaps inside and sadly the voices of our ancestors have been forgotten in the ebonics of victim and entitlement mentality. In the memory of our ancestors, I say unto thee, what we do today echo in eternity and if we do not learn from the wisdom and history of human suffering, peace and freedom will become a digital signpost lost in space. There are two kinds of learning, the one kind being the things we learned and know and the other being the training that thought us how to find out what we did not know. Inspired words by George S. Clason.

And my resolution for the day of tomorrow is that we realize that ‘We are the world’, today. All of a sudden the sweet words ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world’ of an earthly guru, Ghandi, chimes through my being. And after the wind settles, Wayne Dyer resonates ‘Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change’. Still caught up in my day dream, Booker T Washington rise up from dead and leaves me with a morsel of thought ‘I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.’ And just like I am awoken by a silly little love song from the eighties ‘We are the world’

We are the world

There comes a time when we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
and its time to lend a hand to life
There greatest gift of all

We cant 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

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres 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

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres 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 theres no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

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
