Heal the World


[Intro:]

Think about the generations and say that we 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 think, if they can make it a better place...


[Verse 1]

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


[Pre – Chorus]

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 it a better place

For you and for me


[Verse 2]

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


[Pre -Chorus 2]

Then it feels that always

Love's enough for us growing

So make a better world

To 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 it a better place

for you and for me


[Bridge]

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?

Would this Earth crucify its soul?

Though it's plain to see

This world is heavenly

Be God's glow


[Verse 3]

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 ploughshares


[Pre-Chorus 3]

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


[Post-Chorus]

There are people dying

If you care enough for the living

Make a better place

For you and for me

"For Life (English Version)"


This life has twists and turns
But it's the sweetest mystery
When you're with me
We say a thousand words
But no one else is listening
I will be

Every night and every day
No matter what may come our way
We're in this thing together
The dark turns to light
We both come alive, tonight
I'm talking 'bout forever

Never gonna let you go
Giving you my heart and soul
I'll be right here with you for life
Oh, baby, all I wanna do
Is spend my every second with you
So look in my eyes
I'll be by your side

The storms may come
And winds may blow
I'll be your shelter for life
This love, this love
I mean it 'til the day I die

Oh, never gonna let you go
Giving you my heart and soul
I'll be right here with you for life
Oh, baby, all I wanna do
Is spend my every second with you
So look in my eyes
I'll be by your side

Yeah, look in my eyes
I'll be by your side
For life
