Heal The World
By Michael Jackson
I.
There's a place in our hearts
And we know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow
And if we really try
We'll find there's no need to cry
In this place we'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If we care enough for the living
Make a little space, make a better place...
Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If we care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me
II.
If we want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world...
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth crucify its soul
Though its plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be God's glow
III.
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place...
(Repeat Chorus 3X)
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place
For you and for me...
(Repeat)
You and for me...
(Repeat 10x then fade)

Jesus' words when undergoing persecutions [Matthew 10:16~31]:
Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
You will be hated by all men for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
Therefore don't be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.
What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
Don't be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
Aren't two sparrows sold for a penny? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will, but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

In every work of evil there are corresponding far great opportunities for goodness to shine.
Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.” Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:19-21)
