1985年，Michael Jackson做了一件国际性慈善壮举。当时非洲正闹饥荒，数以万计的儿童正受到饥荒之威胁，而非洲的情况是，人们开始放弃为生存而努力，因为一切的一切似乎都已是徒劳。在这样的背景下，Michael Jackson作为发起人呼吁美国歌手一起灌录歌曲[We Are The World]。
Harry Belafonte 和 Kenny Rogers组织执行，Michael Jackson和Lionel Richie写了歌曲，Quincy Jones担任制作，45名当红歌手放下自我，诚意合作，这该算是那年音乐界的一个奇迹了。歌曲收录在USA for Africa的专辑里。

歌词大意：
时刻来到了，有人已发出号召：
让天下人民团结在一道！
快快伸出援助的手，将死之人最需要。
对生命，这礼物才是最好。
不要幻想，日复一日的幻想，
说什么有谁会带来奇迹。
在上帝创造的世界里，就包括我和你
你我都知道：爱才是我们的唯一。
天下一家，我们是未来。
我们要创造光辉灿烂的明天，让我们奉献。
这才是我们的选择，我们在拯救我们自己，
要创造一片新天地，全靠我和你。
献出你的爱心，让他们知道有人在关注。 让生命更加自由，坚强。
按上帝的指示走，一切将改变，哪怕是石头。
我们都应伸出援助之手。
天下一家，我们是未来。
我们要创造光辉灿烂的明天，让我们奉献。
这才是我们的选择，我们在拯救我们自己，
要创造一片新天地，全靠我和你。
当你穷困潦倒，似乎希望渺渺，
但只要坚定信念，就永远不会跌倒。
啊，我们已经明白，好日子终将来到，
只要天下团结在一道。
天下一家，我们是未来。
我们要创造光辉灿烂的明天，让我们奉献。
这才是我们的选择，我们在拯救我们自己，
要创造一片新天地，全靠我和你。
