THE WORLD
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...
Heal the 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...
Heal the world…
Heal the world we live in, save it four our children. |

Analysis of the song
When everyone is really keen on improving the bad
situation, one is able to do it.
One has to become active to achieve something.
Refrain:- imperatives: he wants to encourage the people to do
something
- gives a short summary of the current situation ( people are dying, they suffer)
- everyone has to take care of other people
- love is the key to reach the aim of a better place
By treating other people well, pains and fears
do not come through.
Once there was a dream which can come back and the world could be a
good place again.
All people are equal.
When people stick together the wars in the world will end.
The matter of the song is to talk about life issues and world
issues. It is written in relatively easy words so that as many people as possible can
understand it.
