We are The World

(with words)




===========


LYRICS

WE ARE THE WORLD
There comes a time when we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We all are a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need

[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me


Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well...well...well
Let's realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

[Chorus]

VOCABULARY

AND

PRONUNCIATION



- Dying: Regular verb

Pay special attention to monosylable verbs ending in ' e' like to die. When you want to add  ING, THE FINAL 'E' DROPS, then you only have 'DI' and it is impossible to add 'ING' to an 'I' so in the end we have just the consonant 'd' so to solve the problem we add 'y' to de 'd' and then the 'ING'.

Similar examples like To die = DYING

To lie = LYING, To tie = TYING , To vie = VYING


==================

 To lend a hand: Irregular Verb : To lend - lent - lent

If someone is very busy and you want to help him or her you normally say:

 'Let me lend you a hand'


==================

- The greatest gift of all:

The greatest is the superlative of the adjective great.

A gift is a present.

- Cares

The process of protecting someone or something and providing what they need:

Children who are in care or who have been taken/put into care are not living with their natural parents but instead with a national or local government organization or another family: 

Both children were taken into care when their parents died.

Take care is the normal expression we say when we say good-bye to someone.

LYRICS

Wynonna Judd



"The Rose"

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you it´s only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.

IMAGINE

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

IMAGINE



Lennon said that there are lots of things that can happen in our minds that cannot happen in reality...so, "imagine"...  and he's giving us instances, like if there were no differences between religions... nothing to kill others for... if people gave up being selfish and thought about the present instead of the future... and what happened in the past... the borders of the countries r there in real life,.. but in the dreams, they can be omitted.. nobody has any material possessions that they call "theirs"... everything belongs to everyone.. no one is greedy or hungry for power,.. and it´s like all earthlings are a family, brothers.. and it´s so pleasant to imagine that everyone is sharing the world, instead of fighting for the imaginary boundaries .. and all these fantasies can never come true... so he's a dreamer and he knows that there are many other people like him... who dream of peace, love and equality.. and he hopes that someday, everyone will have the same dream, and so it won´t be a dream anymore, it will become reality... and then we won´t be separated by our countries or beliefs and we'll live together as ONE.

"Everytime We Touch"

I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.

SONGFACTS


Although they each had hits as solo artists, this was the only UK number 1 for Paige and Dickson. Paige had previously starred in Evita and Dickson was a former Folk singer.
The song is from the musical Chess. It was written by Tim Rice with Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus from Abba. It gave Benny and Bjorn their 10th number 1 as writers.

Chess took 2 years to write. Bjorn says, "We were very pleased as we had something longer to work on, both the bigger format and the concept of drama and music together. I can see now that there is quite a lot of that in the later Abba songs, so we were working towards that. "One Night In Bangkok" and "I Know Him So Well" could well have been Abba songs. We had Elaine Paige in mind from the start. She was with Tim at the time and she was the best theater singer in the world. When we heard Barbara Dickson, we realized that she was wonderful too. She retained that folksy quality even when she did Chess and that really attracted me."

Barbara Dickson recalls, "It sounded to the average person in the street like a fantastic new Abba record and they loved the chance of buying an Abba record again. It was a sophisticated song- two women singing different things about the same man. We didn't record it together. Elaine had been to Stockholm and done the recording and I was brought in much later. When the record came out, we promoted it together of course." (Both the above quotes are taken from 1000 UK number 1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh.

This is the all time best selling song for a female duo in the UK. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for all above)
The song has reached the UK Top 20 on two further occasions. In 2001 it featured on the double A-side of the last ever Steps single, reaching number 5 as the flip to "Words Are Not Enough." Ten years later, a cover by Susan Boyle and comedian Peter Kay recorded for Comic Relief peaked at number 11.

LYRICS

I know him so well


Nothing is so good it lasts eternally
Perfect situations must go wrong
But this has never yet prevented me
Wanting far too much for far too long
Looking back I could have played it differently
Won a few more moments, who can tell
But it took time to understand the man
Now at least I know, I know him well.

Wasn't it good (Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine (Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness he can't be mine.
But in the end, he needs a little bit more than me
More security (He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well.

No one in your life is with you constantly
No one is completely on your side.
And though I move my world to be with him
Still the gap between us is too wide.
Looking back, I could have played it differently
Learned about the man before I fell.
But I was ever so much younger then
Now at least I know, I know him well.

Wasn't it good (Oh so good)
Wasn't he fine (Oh so fine)
Isn't it madness he won't be mine
Didn't I know how it would go,
If I knew from the start.
Why am I falling apart.

Wasn't it good
Wasn't he fine
Isn't it madness he won't be mine
But in the end, he needs a little bit more than me
More security (He needs his fantasy and freedom)
I know him so well
It took time to understand him
I know him so well

How it hearts in my heart of hearts

I turn my face right to the sun
Trying to leave it all behind
But shadows chase me like a fox
and sunshine makes me blind


Another time I turn around
The sun shine warms my back
But now the shadow screams at me
While copying my zig zag

How it hearts in my heart of hearts
And now it hearts in my hearts of hearts

Night and day from twilight until dawn
I try to cut the pictures of
spinning around within my head
sometime I feel like Don Quijote
I won´t forget this gentry
And now the traces in the snow
And what this Polaroids cannot undo
The wrongs that brought me love

How it hearts in my heart of hearts
And now it hearts in my hearts of hearts

When it´s not fun playing a bat ball
and it´s not easy to say wo hoo ooo
so they won´t touch me when I am weak
they won´t cross my way again
I feed your ego ever more
I am living in another frame

How it hearts in my heart of hearts
And now it hearts in my hearts of hearts

Sometimes I wonder how I'd ever make it through
Through this world without having you
I just wouldn't have a clue

'Cause sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me
And there's no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me

Sometimes I wanna give up, wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
And then I see you baby
And everything's alright, everything's alright

When I see you smile, I can face the world
Oh, oh
You know I can do anything
When I see you smile, I see a ray of light
Oh, oh

I see it shining right through the rain
When I see you smile
Baby when I see you smile at me
Oh, yeah

Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
What a touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing that I ever knew
Hay

And when the rain is falling, I don't feel it
'Cause you're here with me now
And one look at you baby
Is all I'll ever need, all I'll ever need

Sometimes I wanna give up, I wanna give in
I wanna quit the fight
Then one look at you baby
And everything's alright
Hay, everything's alright
It's alright

LYRICS


Don't cry now
You know it happens to the best of us
Goodbye now
And don't forget about the rest of us
I'm staying
You never know if they can use me here
I'm praying
I won't be looking when you disappear
And everybody's looking out
For close encounters of another kind
And it won't help me if I shout
But I'm getting pretty close this time
You're on my mind

Don't worry
I should have told you to beware of me
Don't hurry
Come back to see whatever's left of me
I've cried some
But I suppose I'm getting colder now
You've died some
But even you are getting older now
And everybody's looking out
For close encounters of another kind
And it won't help me if I shout
But I'm getting pretty close this time
You're on my mind, all of the time
