Michael Jackson的這首《Heal the World》，每次聽到後面都有落淚的感覺，我不在乎這首歌是否唱高調，不過詞曲之中傳達出來對人類的期望，相信是絕大多數人類所認同的。
這首曲子也是我從小學5年級接觸Michael Jackson的音樂創作產品後，個人至今最喜歡的一首Michael Jackson作品。Michael Jackson甚至為了這個理想，還成立了Heal the World基金會幫助世人。
Youtube的這個MV版本沒有開放對外連結，請各位想看480P畫質版本的，直接點選這裡去Youtube看。
這個在1991年推出的經典歌曲相當動人，整首曲子的MV在播出的當時也夠震撼，手法是藉由兒童的眼神、動作與笑語，加上身懷殺傷力武器的士兵、坦克車，以及營造出影射北愛爾蘭、非洲、中東、亞洲等衝突爆發區域的環境。透過這樣的對比，讓人感受到這個世界需要被拯救的重要。
影片中的後半段，特別用拋棄武器的畫面來強化效果，再加上結尾的萬人燭光晚會與兒童意象，如果你的心中也有愛，也關懷這個世界上的生命，那麼應該也會認同這首曲子的理念，一起讓這個世界更美好。(我大概看到後半段就哭了: P)
MV開頭的小孩這樣說：
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.
接著是Michael Jackson用美妙的聲音唱出：
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.
副歌開始：
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.
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.
間奏後的部份：
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.
繼續副歌：
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.
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.
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Make a better place
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
You and for me / Heal the world we live in
You and for me / Save it for our children
