end of the King of Pop. Ironic how some critisized him for the past few years when he was still alive and yet cry and grief when he's dead. Anyway, still wondering how one can be in debt of $500 000 000! (did i get the numbers right? or maybe it was 1 zero short. but still... that's a lot of zeros)

oh well... we'll still remember him thru his music and he's someone we'll probably tell our grandchildren about. the "during my time..." kinda conversation and stories. his music will still live on. 2 of my personal favourite:

Black or White

I took my baby
On a saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes were one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle
Has happened tonight
But, if
Youre thinkin
About my baby
It dont matter if youre
Black or white
They print my message
In the saturday sun
I had to tell them
I aint second to none
And I told about equality
An its true
Either youre wrong
Or youre right
But, if
Youre thinkin
About my baby
It dont matter if youre
Black or white
I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Sew when the
Going gets rough
I aint scared of
Your brother
I aint scared of no sheets
I aint scare of nobody
Girl when the
Goin gets mean
(l. t. b. rap performance)
Protection
For gangs, clubs
And nations
Causing grief in
Human relations
Its a turf war
On a global scale
Id rather hear both sides
Of the tale
See, its not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood
Comes from
Is where your space is
Ive seen the bright
Get duller
Im not going to spend
My life being a color
(michael)
Dont tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
But, if
Youre thinkin about my baby
It dont matter if youre black or white
I said if
Youre thinkin of
Being my baby
It dont matter if youre black or white
I said if
Youre thinkin of
Being my brother
It dont matter if youre
Black or white
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
Its black, its white
Its tough for you
To get by
Its black , its white, whoo
Its black, its white
Its tough for you
To get by
Its black , its white, whoo

Heal the World

Spoken by child:
'Think about the generations,
and say we wanna make it a better
Place for our children and our children's children, so that they...
They, they...
They know it's a better world for them.
And think if they can make it a better place...'

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 of joyful giving
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
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 with no 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
(Oh, my friends)
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
You and for me
You and for me
Heal the world we live in
Save it for our children
