There comes a time, when we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying 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, somewhere will soon make a change We are all a part of God's great big family And the truth you know and 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
Send them 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
-chorus repeat
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all But if you just believe there's no way we can fall Let us realize that a change can only come When we stand together as one
Just because you haven't heard it in a long time doesn't mean it's out of date in the way that I mean... I'm not talking "trendy" here, but rather about songs dealing with issues that seem neverending.
Jezebel wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth She probably had less than every one of us But when she knew how to walk she knew How to bring the house down Can't blame her for her beauty She wins with her hands down
Jezebel, what a belle Looks like a princess in her new dress How did you get that Do you really want to know, she said It would seem she's on her way It's more, more than just a dream She put on her stockings and shoes Had nothing to lose - she said it was worth it
Reach for the top And the sun is gonna shine Every winter was a war she said I want to get what's mine
Jezebel Jezebel Won't try to deny where she came from You can see it in her pride And the raven in her eyes Try show her a better way She'll say you don't know what you've been missing And by the time she blinks you know she won't be listening
Reach for the top she said And the sun is gonna shine Every winter was a war she said I want to get what's mine
Pearls ~ Sade (again, I know, but she's quite aware, that woman...)
there is a woman in somalia scraping for pearls on the roadside there's a force stronger than nature keeps her will alive this is how she's dying she's dying to survive don't know what she's made of i would like to be that brave
she cries to the heaven above there is a stone in my heart she lives a life she didn't choose and it hurts like brand-new shoes
hurts like brand-new shoes
there is a woman in somalia the sun gives her no mercy the same sky we lay under burns her to the bone long as afternoon shadows it's gonna take her to get home each grain carefully wrapped up pearls for her little girl
allelujah !!! allelujah !!!
she cries to the heaven above there is a stone in my heart she lives in a world she didn't choose and it hurts like brand-new shoes hurts like brand-new shoes

Post the lyrics here if you want, and maybe the year it was released.
And why not posting a year when you guess the song WILL be out of date...
