Farewell to the King of Pop

i'm no big fan of MJ. but seeing the memorial service they held for him, listening to what he has done for the world, the music he has contributed, i guess, despite all his crazy actions and weird looks, i do feel a little sad that he has left us. and i feel very much for his children, especially paris after her outburst on stage at the end of the service. i hope they'll be able to grow up and carry on his legend.


most of what i know of him are usually from all the news he has created. i have never specifically paid attention to his songs or what he is up to (though weirdly, i can recognise almost every song of his when class 95 kept playing his songs yesterday - like inserting one MJ song every 2-3 songs - and it was really overdose). so i shall not give any "tribute" to him. instead, i can only say, listen to his songs. it's the best way you can remember him. :)





on another note, my sis is peeved that her project runway finale has been replaced by the telecast of the MJ memorial service, while others, who had to work and couldn't stay up to watch at the unearthly hour of 1.30-4.00am this morning, are only too happy that channel 5 is showing a repeat telecast at 10.30pm.

shall end off my favourite mj song. c'mon everyone, let's heal the world and make it a better place. :)

Heal the World
By Michael Jackson

Spoken:
Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better world for our children and our children's children. So that they know it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better place.

There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow.

And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow.

There are ways to get there
If you 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 you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

If you 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
Make a better world, make a better world.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race.
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

Bridge:
And the dream we would 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 it's soul
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be God's glow.

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'll 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.

Chorus:
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for
You and for me.

Refrain (2x)

There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
There are people dying if you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.
