1. We are the World by Michael Jackson

Fun fact:

Popular American Singer / Musician, Prince, was invited to star in the recording of this song amongst 40 other famous celebrities like Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner and Diana Ross. However, he rejected the offer and his refusal in taking part is still unknown although some say that his "reported-but-always-denied rivalry with Jackson played a part".

Message on Hope from the lyrics:

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all But if you just believe there's no way we can fall Well, well, well, well let us realise Oh, that a change can only come When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah

2. Heal the World by Michael Jackson

Fun Fact:

It was said by Michael Jackson in an interview that he was most proud of this song amongst all the other songs that he had created and I can truly understand why. The lyrics are so meaningful and it always brings tears to my eyes whenever I listen to it.

Popular lines from the lyrics:

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

The song was not originally sung by Josh Groban! He only popularised it a year after it was composed and performed by the Norwegian-Irish band called Secret Garden back in 2002. Irish boy band, Westlife, went on to further make it more popular 2 years later.

Popular lines from the lyrics:

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains You raise me up to walk on stormy seas I am strong when I am on your shoulders You raise me up to more than I can be

Though a popular song to sing at National Day Parades in Singapore year after year, Home, was not actually written to be a National Day Song but just a community song for national bonding among Singaporeans.

Popular lines from the lyrics:

This is home, truly Where I know I must be Where my dreams wait for me Where that river always flows This is home, surely As my senses tell me This is where I won't be alone For this is where I know it's home
