heal the world

i have listened and sang this song so many times in the past but this morning after so many years, it is the first time i really truly feel it. just touched my heart... thank you mj for leaving us with these simple words of truth. reminding us that each one of us 'could really get there. IF YOU CARED ENOUGH FOR THE LIVING. make a little space to make a better place.' it is really that simple. i am here to care for the other. if we keep this mantra strong in our hearts, every bad situation could be turned around.

let's try it. start with the littlest of things that pissed you off. for me, i dun really like it when people step onto my mat when they walk into the yoga studio. you know.. i am already sitting on it. but their eyes are just fixed on finding their fav spots they forget to pay attention to where their feet are going. and i dun fancy the idea of having to do child pose with my face on the mat where a few secs ago, someone else just stepped on (maybe she has smelly feet.. faint) haha..

ok ok if it happens again later today, i will try to think 'its ok they step onto my mat, it's better than if they were to step onto my towel, trip and fall flat on their face!' hahahaha... ok enjoy!



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.

If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares for joyful giving.
If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread
We stop existing and start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
Make a better world, make a better world.

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'll 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.
