Lyrics and Music by Michael Jackson Prelude by Marty Paich
Think about the generations and they say:
“We want to make it a better place
for our children and our children’s children
so that they, they, they, 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 can 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.
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’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.
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.
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.)
