Lyrics below are taken from here

EVERYBODY HURTS - The Corrs

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
when you think you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go,
cause everybody cries and everybody hurts, sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong.
Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
if you`re sure you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Cause everybody hurts.
Sometimes take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't blow your hand.
Oh, no. Don't blow your hand.
when you feel like you're alone,
no, no, no, you`re not alone
If you're on your own in this life,
and the days and nights are long,
if you're sure you've had too much of this life to hang on.

cause everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. Sometimes everybody hurts, sometimes.
everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
Cause no you're not alone...


HEAL THE WORLD - Michael Jackson

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 For 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
So Make A Better World
Make A Better World...

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...

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight


Ayo hentikan kekerasan, kita wujudkan perdamaian dunia. Bumi ini sudah sakit, jangan bikin semakin sakit lagi.
