“We Are The World” tiene suprema vigencia para sembrar amor, bien, hermandad y equidad.

En 1985, año de mi graduación en Ponce High, estuvo de moda la canción “We Are The World”. Fue también el Año Internacional de la Juventud.

Es una canción escrita por Michael Jackson y Lionel Richie y producida por Quincy Jones, que al combinar notables voces en 1985 para su grabación (grupo al que se denominó “USA for Africa”), buscaba recaudar fondos para la campaña humanitaria que combatía la hambruna en Etiopía.

En 1985, el líder africano Nelson Mandela seguía preso por combatir el “Apartheid” y el hambre en su patria era reflejo de grandes problemas e injusticias.
En el 2014, sigue el hambre en el mundo, como reflejo de grandes problemas e injusticias. Sigue teniendo vigencia el mensaje de “We Are The World”.
Se confirma que en la jornada de la vida, no hay puntos finales, sino constantes afanes, propósitos y pasos evolutivos; la clave es crecer y fructificar en el proceso.

Merecen pleno apoyo los llamados a ayudar a lo humanitario en pro de África, Haití y otros países. Sin embargo, recordemos que el primer llamado a buscar ser mejores seres humanos se aplica al hogar, a la comunidad, al trabajo, en fin, a los escenarios cotidianos e inmediatos, en donde estamos para desarrollar y consagrar una vocación.

En 1985, la canción fue lema de reconocimientos a logros y graduaciones en el mundo entero. Hoy la canción tiene gran vigencia para fomentar el progreso con justicia, la equidad que es buena y agrada a Dios, y el principio de que todo lo mejor del ser humano nace y se manifiesta desde la conciencia que todos somos hijos de Dios.

Con sinceridad y humildad, veo como voluntad y mensaje de Dios que coincidiera tal canción de dar, sembrar y perseverar, con el Año Internacional de la Juventud, ya que la juventud es más que cronología, es sueños, ideales, intensa fe, esperanzas y energías siempre frescas. Adelante en la potenciación de amor.

“We Are The World”

There comes a time when we need 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

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We're all a part of god's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin'

There's a choice we're makin'
We're savin' our own lives
It's true, we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Well, send them you your heart so they 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

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin'

Whoa, there's a choice we're makin'
We're savin' 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, let us realize
Oh, that one change can only come
When we stand together as one
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin'

There's a choice we're makin'
We're savin' 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 givin'

We're saving our own lives
It's true, we'll make a better day
Just you and me
