最近看了网友的推荐,才知道迈克尔·杰克逊后来还单独创作了另一首好歌《What More Can I Give》。这首歌的创作灵感起源于1999年他与南非前总统曼德拉的会面,但2001年的911事件促使他完成了这首歌。借此呼吁人类付出爱心,共同抵制仇视,暴力和屠杀。
他招集了全球著名的35位歌星一起演唱录制这首歌,并在2001年10月21日为911义演募捐5000万美元的大型音乐会“United We Stand”上正式演出。
可惜,这首歌后来因为迈克尔·杰克逊和索尼公司的出版纠纷而未能正式出版发行。使得这首歌的流传不如《We Are The World》那样广泛。
在网上第一次听这首歌,我就被那歌词所震撼。
多少人的惨死才能将我们唤醒 多少孩子的哭泣才能让我们行动起来 。。。。。。
仇恨和残忍,已经太多了 为什么我们不能友好的呼唤,做个朋友? 。。。。。。
尽你所有,付出你的爱! 尽你所有,付出你的爱! 。。。。。。
这歌声在呼唤着人类的爱心,期待着大家行动起来,共同抵制仇视,暴力和屠杀。。。
看了下面这段音频,我想你也会喜欢上这首歌的。
《What More Can I Give》
How many people will have to die before we will take a stand How many children will have to cry, before we do all we can If sending your love is all you can give To help one live, mmm
How many times can we turn our heads And pretend we cannot see Healing the wounds of our broken earth We are one global family Just sending your prayers Is something you feel Helping one heal What have I got that I can give (What have I got that I can give, tell me) What have I got that I can give, yeah, oh To love and to teach you To hold and to need you What more can I give (what more can I give, yeah)
brother to brother, lay down our fears and reach out and make a pact Show him the love that is in our hearts, let us bring salvation back Just sending your love has the power to heal So let us all give
What have I got that I can give (It is not a lot to give, just a little bit) What have I got that I can give (Everyone should be a part of it) To love and to teach you To hold and to need you What more can I give
Say the words, I will lay em down for you Just call my name, I am your friend See then why do they keep teaching us Such hate and cruelty We should give over and over again
What have I got that I can give (We should give over and over again) What have I got that I can give (Oh my God, oh my God) See, to love and to teach you To hold and to need you What more can I give
