"We are the world" has to be one of the most compelling and important song I ever listen to. First of all,it it's a rhythmic song that pounds you with energy to help these people.Performed initially, the first version, by a group of singers,including the figure of Michael Jackson.In another version, there are less people singing the song and their theme is to help haitian people and children from that earthquake that ocurred in February and that really affected them The chorus is really expressive saying and that "we are the world,we are the children" and it also has the most powerful rhyme in all the poem.On the other hand throughtout the poem there is a different number of verses per stanza. What do the lyrics say?I believe that this song simbolises the two social classes,the poor class(Africa) are dying and the rich(USA+Europe) have to help them to survive.Moreover,in the other version ,the people who live in Haiti are suffering from the earthquake and the united states and europe have to help them to survive.(Stanza 1) In the chorus it says we are the world ,we are the children saying that we have be aware about those people in Africa and Haiti so we should start giving them food as we are their only route of survival.(Stanza 3,5,7) In addition, it also says that you have to show your sympathy for them so then they feel stronger and free.(Stanza 4) Nextly I says if you believe there is no way to fall and so a change will appear surely.(Stanza 6) Finally in the second stanza it mentions that we cannot pretend that someone or something will do help them to survive as we are part of the same family,God's family.

There comes a time When we head 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 are all 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] 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

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, well, let us realize That a change will only come When we stand together as one

[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

This is the version of the Haiti eathquake 2010,the other one I couldn't pass to the wikispace
