#MusicMonday - [TAKE ACTION EDITION] Michael Jackson: "Heal The World"

#MusicMonday this week is dedicated to Michael Jackson, who is a timeless and classic Musician that has and continues to inspire the importance of individuality around the world through respect for diversity. It is hard to put into words what Michael did to inspire others, so in the true beauty and essence of music, it shall speak for itself...

What can you do to heal the world?

In partnership with www.ichoosemynews.com, here is my personal list to take action:

1. Use a reusable water bottle everyday.
2. Use a mug, instead of paper or compostable cups for coffee/tea.
3. Take the bus, walk or ride my bike to work everyday.
4. Help plant trees (and send digital certificates when I do).
5. Pick up trash when I see it on the ground around me, especially foil products.
6. Use reusable grocery/tote bags when shopping/traveling and in general for carrying items.
7. Use digital resources as much as possible, instead of paper (i.e. sporting event and concert tickets).
8. Carpool with friends and family whenever possible (...the more the merrier!)
9. Support and donate to conservation organizations by being aware and volunteering my time and money to help.

5. www.globalcitizen.org/en/
6. www.nrdc.org/
7. www.change.org/
10. Encourage others to do these things through word of mouth and actively engage in asking others what they are doing to help so that I can learn and do what they are doing, too.

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
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

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
