記得25年前 午餐時間的校園裡都會放著這首歌
十幾歲的我並沒有認真的思考這首歌曲的意義
WE ARE THE WORLD就是好聽=流行
經過歲月的洗禮
再聽這首歌
為了援助海地大地震,25年後這首 We Are The World 進行重新灌唱,
近年來各種天災不時的接連發生
同在一個地球上的我們
是否願意讓自己也能成為他人的幫助,
雖然我們無法做到台東菜販陳樹菊阿桑那種無私慷慨的完全奉獻
但就像WE ARE THE WORLD歌詞中所說的
我們正在做選擇
我們真的可以創造一個更好的明天就靠你和我
那麼!將你的心傳遞給需要的人
25年前,這首宣示著種族和平的義賣單曲是1985年美國歌手所灌錄的慈善精曲,是為了拯救非洲飢荒,由美國黑人歌手Harry Belafonte (哈利貝拉方提)所倡議,由Quincy Jones (昆西瓊斯)擔任製作人,在1985年由 Michael Jackson 和Lionel Richie 共同譜寫該曲子,後由 Michael Jackson 填詞完成由45位當紅歌星雲集洛杉磯的錄音室,灌錄了We Are the World (四海一家)。

when the earth quakes we'll help you make it through the storm
when the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on
we are the World united by love so strong
when the radio isn't on you can hear the songs
a guided light on the dark road your walking on
a sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
someone to help you rebuild after the rubble's gone
we are the World connected by a common bond
Love the whole planet sing it along
