EDITOR:

I know there are mixed feelings about the late Michael Jackson. However, I hope you can put those aside for just a couple of minutes and read the lyrics of a song that we ALL need right now. It’s called Heal the World. The first and last verses and chorus:

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.

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.

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.

Everyone needs to adopt this attitude right now. There is too much hate in the world!
