现在我们来轻松一下欣赏一首歌。这首歌不少同学都相当熟悉，是著名的Pop King —— Michael Jackson所唱的一首Heal the World. 相信同学们都知道在遥远的伊拉克，饱受战争之苦的人民再一次遭受炮火袭击。而近在咫尺的同学们周围，大家面临着SARS（非典型性肺炎）给我们带来的恐惧和伤害。我们渴望远离战争和疾病的困扰，生活在一个美好平和的地球上，我想这是人类共同的心愿。

Heal the World

        Michael Jackson

 

There is 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 will find there is no need to cry

In this place you will feel there is 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 ...

 

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 it a better place

For you and for me

 

If you want to know why

There is love that cannot lie

Love is strong

It only cares of joyful giving

 

If we try we shall see

In this bliss we cannot feel

Fear or dread

We stop existing and start living

 

There it feels that always

Love is enough for us growing

Make a better world

So make a better place ...

 

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

 

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 it is plain to see

This world is heavenly

Be gods 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 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 ...

 

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

 

You and for me ...
