USA FOR AFRICA "WE ARE THE WORLD"





[Lionel Richie]
There comes a time when we heed a certain call

[Lionel Richie & Stevie Wonder]
When the world must come together as one

[Stevie Wonder]
There are people dying

[Paul Simon]
And it's time to lend a hand to life

[Paul Simon & Kenny Rogers]
The greatest gift of all

[Kenny Rogers]
We can't go on pretending day by day

[James Ingram]
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change

[Tina Turner]
We are all part of god's great big family

[Billy Joel]
And the truth, you know, love is all we need

Chorus:
[Michael Jackson]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving

[Diana Ross]
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives

[Michael & Diana Ross]
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

[Dionne Warwick]
Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares

[Dionne Warwick & Willie Nelson]
And their lives will be stronger and free

[Willie Nelson]
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread

[Al Jarreau]
So we all must lend a helping hand

Chorus:
[Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry & Daryl Hall]
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

[Michael Jackson]
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all

[Huey Lewis]
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall

[Cindy Lauper]
Well, well, well, well let us realize that a change can only come

[Kim Carnes]
When we stand together as one

Chorus:
[Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen & James Ingram]
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

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

We are the world....



KENNY ROGERS - "THE GAMBLER"




On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
'Til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,
And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
And if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."

And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.



RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS "UNCHAINED MELODY"



Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long,
lonely time. Time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?

I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
to the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me,
wait for me.
I'll be coming home, wait for me.

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long
lonely time. Time, goes by so slowly,
and time can do so much,
Are you still mine?

I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love, to me.
