Capita che in questo periodo natalizio succedano cose magiche di una bellezza inaudita. Come l’invito a partecipare ad uno spettacolo gospel per il quale la nostra scuola Helen Doron preparerà un brano con alcuni bimbi.

Capita che, tra questi bimbi, ci sia pure la Marmocchia e che il pezzo scelto sia, secondo me, una delle canzoni più belle mai scritte: We are the world.

Poi capita pure che ogni volta che gliela faccio sentire per iniziare ad impararla finisce che a me scappa la lacrima e lei mi fa domande tipo “ma la signorina che canta come si chiama?”. E la “signorina” in questione è Miachael Jackson. Perciò no, il video non glielo farò vedere.

Ma lo condivido volentieri con voi, insieme al testo ovviamente. Secondo me da inserire nella hit parade natalizia da cantare a squarciagola o da leggere ai propri bimbi come una vera e propria poesia.

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

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 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

Well, send’em 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 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, let’s realize that a change can only come
When we
stand together as one

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
