We Are The World 25 For Haiti
There comes a time
When we head a certain call
[Nicole Scherzinger & Jennifer Hudson]
When the world must come together as one
[Jennifer Hudson]
There are people dying
[Jennifer Nettles]
And it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
[Josh Groban]
We can’t go on
Pretending day by day
[Tony Bennet]
that someone, somehow will soon make a change
[Mary J Blige]
We are all a part of
God’s great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
[Chorus]
[Michael Jackson]
We are the world
We are the children
[Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson]
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
[Barbra Streisand]
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
[Miley Cyrus]
Send them your heart
So they’ll know that someone cares
[Enrique Iglesias]
so there cries for help
will not be in vein
We can’t let them suffer
no we cannot turn away
[Jamie Foxx]
Right now they need a helping hand
[Wyclef Jean]
Nou se mond la(?)
We are the Children

When you’re down and out
There seems no hope at all
[Usher]
But if you just believe
There’s no way we can fall
[Celine Dion]
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change can only come
[Fergie]
When we stand together as one
[Nick Jonas]
[Chorus - All]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
[Nick Jonas]

[Lil Wayne]
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
[Chorus - All]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
[Akon]

We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we make a better day
Just you and me
[T-Pain]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day

[Jamie Foxx]
Choice were making
saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me
[Rapping - LL Cool J, Will-I-Am, Soop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beatz]
We all need somebody that we can lean on
when you wake up look around and see that your dreams gone
when the earth quakes we’ll help you make it through the storm
when the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on
we are the World united by love so strong
when the radio isn’t on you can hear the songs
a guided light on the dark road your walking on
a sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
someone to help you rebuild after the rubble’s gone
we are the World connected by a common bond
Love the whole planet sing it along
[Chorus - All]
[Kanye West]
Everyday citizens
everybody pitching in
[Singing - Children & Wyclef Jean]
[Will-I-Am]
You and I
You and I
[Kanye West]
Uh, 12 days no water
wishing will to live
[Will-I-Am]
we amplified the love we watching multiple
[Kanye West]
Feeling like the Worlds end
we can make the World win
[Will-I-Am]
Like Katrina, Africa, Indonesia
and now Haiti needs us, the need us, they need us
[Chorus - All]
[Wyclef Jean]
Haiti, Haiti, Ha, Ha, ha, ha, ha
Haiti, Haiti, Ha, Ha, ha, ha, ha

为了替海地灾民募款,美国乐坛横跨老中青三代,总计72位知名歌手,2010年2月2日秘密聚集在录音室,改编重唱25年前的赈灾歌曲《We Are the World》,包括葛莱美三后碧昂丝、Lady Gaga、泰勒斯威夫特,还有歌坛长青树芭芭拉-史翠珊、莱诺-李奇,蒂娜-特纳等,还有miley cyrus等将重现当年群星赈灾献唱的经典画面。
1985年著名慈善歌曲《We Are The World》的制作人昆西-琼斯 (Quincy Jones) 和歌曲作者之一莱昂纳尔-里奇 (Lionel Richie) 今天公布了新版歌曲《We Are The World 25 For Haiti》及随附视频世界首播和全球发布的详情。众明星于2月1日在25年前的同一录音棚(Henson Recording Studios,前身为 A&M Recording Studios)中录制了新版歌曲,以支持海地大地震赈灾活动及海地家园重建工作,琼斯和里奇担任监制与制作人,制作团队的其他成员包括监制怀克里夫-金 (Wyclef Jean)、兰迪-菲利普斯 (Randy Phillips) 和 Peter Tortorici;制作人 Humberto Gattica 和 RedOne;以及联合制作人 Rickey Minor、Mervyn Warren 和佩蒂-奥斯汀 (Patti Austin)。Visa Inc. 对歌曲录制工作提供了资助。
奥斯卡获奖编剧兼导演保罗-哈吉斯 (Paul Haggis)(《撞车》(Crash)、《百万美元宝贝》(Million Dollar Baby))将录制过程拍摄下来,制作成随附视频和幕后花絮,在担任导演的同时,还与琼斯、里奇、金、菲利普斯和 Tortorici 共同担任监制。保罗-哈吉斯个人和 ArtiSTS for Peace and Justice 慈善机构的帮助已经拯救了海地无数人的生命。
里奇表示:“当我第一次听说要录制《We Are The World》的新版本时,我并没有表现出多大的热情,因为它的原版堪称是经典之作,但海地大地震之后,我意识到这是一个危急关头,而且这也正是这首歌最初创作的意义所在。新版歌曲将版权奉献给了一个不同的地方,但却忠实于原作所蕴含的精神意义。这个方法可以更好地挽救我们在海地深处危难之中的兄弟姐妹,让更多人了解海地目前的困境和需求,并使世界上一些最伟大的人才走到了一起。结果不言而喻,所以请通过下载进行捐赠
所有收益将全部捐赠给 We Are The World Foundation。这是由昆西-琼斯和莱昂纳尔-里奇共同成立的一家新的非营利性机构,其董事会成员还包括怀克里夫-金、保罗-哈吉斯、兰迪-菲利普斯、Peter Tortorici 和美洲开发银行 (Inter-American Development Bank) 行长路易斯-莫雷诺 (Luis Moreno)。该基金会致力于筹措资金,并向那些为解决海地不断面临的危机而提出意义深远且行之有效的救援和发展计划的慈善机构提供善款。目前正在确认获赠善款的慈善机构的名单,这些慈善机构提出的救援计划必须最符合该基金会的愿景——集结业界力量,为受灾和贫困地区带去福音。赠款很快就会悉数到位,这些资金将投入到慈善和救援工作中。在此之前,该基金会将暂时拥有并保管这些旨在支援这项重要工作的资金。
怀克里夫-金表示:“我被娱乐界表现出的积极性和提供的援助所深深打动。在全球各界人士的不断努力下,我们增加了为海地成功提供迫切救助的机会,并为重建一个21世纪的海地迈出了新的一步。”
AEG Live 总裁兼首席执行官兰迪-菲利普斯表示:“通常评判一个人的职业生涯是否成功是要看他为人类社会做出了多少积极贡献,而不仅仅是看他积累了多少财富。当 AEG Live 和我被问及是否能帮助促成由昆西-琼斯和莱昂纳尔-里奇牵头的这项工作时,我们知道这将在我们的心灵留下不可磨灭的印记,也将是海地这个岛国重获新生的一个重要标志。我们整个活动的宗旨就是支援海地
原版《We Are The World》发布后不久便成为史上最畅销单曲,之后的几年里,USA for Africa 通过销售700多万张专辑、单曲和磁带,以及近200万的网络销量和相关商品,筹集并捐赠了6300多万美元。其中有一半以上用于紧急救援(食物、药品和难民服务),其余资金则用于为撒哈拉以南非洲18个不同国家的500多个救援、重建和开发项目提供支持。
GroupM Entertainment Worldwide 首席执行官 Peter Tortorici 表示:“我们为能够帮助《We Are the World》成为一个体现主创、业界和媒体力量的强大全球平台而感到无比自豪,这些力量将帮助海地人民顽强地从这场悲剧中走出来。”
旗下拥有《Idol》(偶像)、《Got Talent》(达人)和《The X Factor》电视节目的 FremantleMedia 主动提出与 WATW25 合作,在全球范围内发布整套音乐视频,以期最大程度上获得全球影响力,并将携手全球领先的媒体投资机构团体 GroupM,在世界各地发布视频内容。
