Beklausydamas Lietuvos krepšinio Himną prisiminiau daugiau gražių proginių kūrinių. Pirmasis man žinomas tokio masto dalykas atsirado man dar būnant studentu 1985 metais. Tai USA for Africa projektas “We Are The World,” kuriam žodžius parašė amžiną atilsį Michael Jackson.
Projekto tikslas buvo surinti aukas paremti etiopams didžiojo bado metu (1984-1985 m. badu mirė virš 1 mln. žmonių).
Ką gali viena daina? Nelygu kas ir kaip dainuoja. Check this out:
The promotion and merchandise aided the success of “We Are the World” and raised over $63 million for humanitarian aid in Africa and the US.

Čia tekstas:
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
Pretneding 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

Kad Maiklas Džeksonas buvo geras šokėjas, žino visi. Bet ar kas nors žinojo, kad jis buvo tokio lygio ir tokio masto poetas?
