RIP Michael Jackson


I keep forgetting to blog about this.
Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, died about a week or two ago.
He was one hell of a good entertainer though I have to admit, his "Thriller" MV is a little scary.
I'm watching one of his old videos on YouTube.
My favourite song of his, "Heal the World".
Read the lyrics, they're really meaningful.


(little girl speaking)

I think about the generations
And they say they want to make it
A better place for our children and our children's children
So that they know it's a better world for them
And I think they can make it a better place

(song begins)
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. . .

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 living
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
So 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

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 WithNo 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...

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 EnoughFor 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
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. . .

------------------>

I wonder if the purpose of his song will ever be achieved.
Or whether he had stopped existing and started living.
Or had he lived, then began existing towards the end?

He wrote this song for the children of the world.
For a childhood he never had.

This song will be a reminder to the children of the world.
Of him.
Living on forever through his songs.

RIP Michael Jackson.
May you find peace in the next world.
