LYRICS- WE ARE THE WORLD
(USA For Africa

Track 1 on We Are the World [album]

Producers: Quincy Jones & Michael Omartian

[Verse 1: Lionel Richie, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Kenny Rogers]

There comes a time when we heed a certain call

When the world must come together as one

There are people dying

Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life

The greatest gift of all

 

[Verse 2: Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, Billy Joel]

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: Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Both]

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

 

[Verse 3: Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Al Jarreau, Dionne Warwick & Willie Nelson]

Well, 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

And 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

Oh, 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

 

[Bridge: Michael Jackson, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Kim Carnes]

When you're down and out, and there seems no hope at all

But if you just believe, there's no way we can fall

Well, well, well

Let us realize, oh, that a change can only come

When we stand together as one (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

 

[Chorus: Choir]

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

Just you and me

We are the world (We are the world)

We are the children (We are the children)

We are the ones who make a brighter day

Alright, let me hear you

ARTICLE EXCERPT ABOUT PLUTO IN CAPRICORN AND PLUTO IN AQUARIUS
https://www.elle.com/horoscopes/a62697280/pluto-in-aquarius-horoscope-2024-explained/ "Pluto in Aquarius Could Change Everything" By The AstroTwins, Published: Oct 25, 2024
…."Since its discovery by telescope in 1930, Pluto has earned its place in astrological lore as the cosmic force of power, alchemy, mystery, and control. The icy, far-out dwarf planet became known during a time of global upheaval, just before the Great Depression and on the brink of World War II. From death to rebirth, destruction to regeneration, Pluto has been given domain over our most intense transitions. Because it’s so far away in space, it also governs things that are hard to see: secrets, scandals, hidden power structures.

….For the past 16 years, Pluto has been on a shadowy trek through authoritative Capricorn, the zodiac sign associated with government, banks, big business, and father figures (i.e. patriarchs). Ever since, it’s lifted the veil on some insidious truths.

Way back in 2008, Pluto marked its entrance into Capricorn with a massive mortgage crisis. Banks needed to be bailed out by the government, and the economy essentially crashed. But there was a glimmer of hope, too. The United States elected its first Black president, Barack Obama; the spirit of change was in the air.

Ah, but Pluto can be a trickster. The work was clearly not done; there was much more to be dredged up around toxic masculinity, in fact. The #MeToo movement went viral in 2017, bringing shocking takedowns of powerful men who seemed formerly impervious to reproach.

In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe and states stripped women of their reproductive rights. The same year, a groundbreaking revolt broke out in Iran, a response to the horrific death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the “morality” police. Women cut and burned their hair in the streets, and men protested alongside them. While this movement did not topple the regime, it did reveal the depths of global outrage at patriarchal oppression.

As Pluto makes its grand exit from Capricorn this November 19, we are a long way from being free of male-dominated systems and the powers behind them. But the cloak of invisibility has been lifted. This 16-year cycle has pulled back the curtain on how power operates. After November 19, Pluto won’t return to Capricorn for basically 250 years, but it’s certainly leaving its fingerprints behind.

What comes next? The answer lies in Pluto’s upcoming journey through Aquarius, a sign of revolution, innovation, and the collective. From November 19 to Jan. 19, 2044, Pluto will ignite a new era of transformation, one that could radically redefine power structures and usher in a future where equality and freedom take center stage.

Pluto’s return to Aquarius could usher in another wave of societal transformation, and astrologers already feel it brewing.

While that might seem like a far-off ideal, Pluto has been known to deliver extreme shifts when it enters a new sign. While Capricorn clings to tradition, Aquarius is all about breaking free from convention and embracing the future.

The last time Pluto moved through Aquarius was from 1778 to 1798, and the world went through seismic shifts, from the American Revolution to the French Revolution. This era also dovetailed with the early days of the Industrial Revolution, which completely changed how societies functioned as we replaced farmed and handcrafted goods with machine-made and processed ones.

Pluto’s return to Aquarius could usher in another wave of societal transformation, and astrologers already feel it brewing. There could be a push toward systems that are more egalitarian, tech-driven, and inclusive as we move away from top-down structures to a more collective, grassroots energy."
