There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much
Brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make it a better place
For you and for me

If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear of dread
We stop existing and start living

The it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly
Be god's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place

Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me

You and for me

    General Comment:Man in the Mirror, Heal the World and Earth are all songs that show you how much michael cared about the world.... he really wanted to make a change in this world, through charities, helping promote awareness in the world through his songs. it doesn't matter if people hate michael jackson because he loved everyone regardless of who they were.

    these set of songs makes me want to be a better person inside and to help others who are less fortunate.

    General Comment:hopefully now you can finally rest.

    the message behind this song and others (black & white, beat it) show the real worldcentric care that existed in MJ's heart.

    General Comment:I was 12 years old when I first heard this song. It was in my school, and we sang this song at the assembly everyweek. It was very motivational and created an emotion to succeed and to help the ones in need. The song also was very well (don't really like Jackson, but some of his work like "Black or white" and this song are truly remarkable.

    General Comment:Was this the song that was part of Live Aid? I feel like taking a jab at humanitarian efforts, but I don't want to offend any starving Ethiopian orphaned whales out there.

    General Comment:I really don't like him but I have to admit he has some great songs and this is definitely one of them. He sings about Nature and the world as a whole and I admire him for that. If we all care more we can CHANGE the world.
