I OWN NOTHING

-----LYRICS-----

There comes a time when we heed a certain call (Lionel Richie)
When the world must come together as one (Lionel Richie & Stevie Wonder)
There are people dying (Stevie Wonder)
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life (Paul Simon)
The greatest gift of all (Paul Simon/Kenny Rogers)

We can't go on pretending day by day (Kenny Rogers)
That someone, somehow will soon make a change (James Ingram)
We're all a part of God's great big family (Tina Turner)
And the truth (Billy Joel)
You know love is all we need (Tina Turner/Billy Joel)

( CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving (Michael Jackson)
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Diana Ross)
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Michael Jackson/Diana Ross)

Well, send'em you your heart so they know that someone cares (Dionne Warwick)
And their lives will be stronger and free (Dionne Warwick/Willie Nelson)
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread (Willie Nelson)
And so we all must lend a helping hand (Al Jurreau)

( REPEAT CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children (Bruce Springsteen)
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving (Kenny Logins)
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Steve Perry)
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Daryl Hall)

When you're down and out there seems no hope at all (Michael Jackson)
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall (Huey Lewis)
Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come (Cyndi Lauper)
When we (Kim Carnes)
stand together as one (Kim Carnes/Cyndi Lauper/Huey Lewis)

(REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE )

(additional ad-lib vox by Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, James Ingram)

  • For everybody who is asking "who is ...." These people are all legends. They were chosen for their unmistakable voices. Yes, Michael was wonderful...but don't overlook Steve Perry, Dion Warwick, Kenny Loggins, Daryl Hall, Willie Nelson, Al Jarreau, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Diana Ross and of course, Lionel, Bruce, Dylan and Brother Ray. Notice those who didn't get a line, Bette Midler, Lindsey Buckingham. What a room of talent! Never will this talent be duplicated.

  • that's makes me cry! =') Michael is fantastic! R.I.P. Michael :'(

see all

  • MICHAEL JACKSON FOREVER....we got you in our HEARTS!!! ♥ RIP

  • bellaaaaas

  • MJ 4 EVER r.i.p. youre the best

  • @TheMissi68 You'd get no complaint from me, but I do enjoy watching this amazing group. I just got this from Amazon (it's dirt cheap)...the dvd's are about 2 hours and I love all the behind the scenes stuff....not enough of Stevie tho.

  • @1984jee

    Some REAL legends here, still I can't help thinking they should have just let Perry sing the whole thing . ;)

  • @MomokoSuyako Right...and I left out several others, too....Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, John Hall, Cyndi Lauper, Kim Carnes, Huey Lewis, Quincy Jones, Harry Belefonte, Dan Ackroyd, Jackson family members, and, I think I see at least two of the Pointer Sisters in that crowd and possibly others. Prince was supposed to show, but said he didn't do "group" songs, and Waylon Jennings left because he didn't like the song.

  • @1984jee dont forget stevie wonder :3

  • aww that is soooo nice!! I cant believe USA actually did this for us!

  • Steve Perry is amazing!!

  • Truly a treasure. What has happened??!
