specialTopic: "We Make a Better Day"(5)
Frodo has been listening to a lot of music lately. The destruction wrought upon one nation introduced him to Justin Timberlake, who won Frodo's respect for the "Hallelujah" he introduced to a world full of watchers the other evening. Bruce Springsteen gave fresh meaning to "We Shall Overcome" during the same presentation, but it was the memory of something almost forgotten which drew Frodo to search out the lyrics of Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. They captivate the Hobbit time and time again. Frodo is not ashamed to admit that his eyes burn and his heart breaks when Ray Charles takes the microphone, and Frodo searches for the sources of the harmony behind.
The tragedy is that one song only begets another.
"There comes a time when we heed 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 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.
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 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 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 make a better day
Just you and me."
Tina Turner, Dionne Warwick, wow, hey, isn't that Dan Ackroyd?
