“Love can truly heal the broken World”
Today I'm reviewing Michael Jackson's unity piece titled - "Heal the World" 1992. Listen to the song here or see it in the video.
One of the biggest questions that mirror’s in my mind each time I listen to “Heal the World” by the legendary Michael Jackson is: Will the world ever be healed? Seeing that so much has happened in the negative since “the most thrilling King of pop" passed on. He sincerely sang down hope to the world and rooted for the cause of love and charity with every single strength he had. But reality hit differently in our time today.
Who is Michael Jackson?
Michael Jackson born August 29, 1958, was an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and prolific philanthropist, he used his fame for humanitarian causes around the world. Known as the "King of Pop", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. During his four-decade career, his contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture. Jackson influenced artists across many music genres. Through stage and video performances, he popularized complicated dance moves such as the moonwalk, to which he gave the name.
There has been a high record of shoddy crimes in our world globally. Even the cries of little children and helpless people in despair have gone overboard. Life gets tougher as the world becomes so cruel, the penury caused by greed, crisis, and wrong priorities has lingered for so long that hope turns to fear and the strength to hold on gets depleted by the day.
It's been 29 years since "Heal the World" was released and hitherto, nothing much has changed except for the blurry hope that makes the heart sick. So every day unfolds with a different daring reality that pierces everyone with an unequal share of pain, sickness, and lack. Making it even more difficult to wish for a better, peaceful, compassionate world. However, a deeper truth clings to the faith that everybody's sincere contributions through love, kindness, and empathy can heal the world.
As I listened to Heal the World keenly and got to watch its video, I got pierced by the weight of emotions as the whole lyrics and impression evoke a sense of hope and compassion and call everybody to the action of building a better world.
Focusing on the lyrics, I figured out four significant themes that better describe the impressions conveyed by Jackson in this piece and they include:
Optimism: The lyrics convey a belief in the power of love and the potential for a brighter future. The mention of a place in the heart that is filled with love and brighter than tomorrow creates a hopeful and positive tone.
Empathy: The lyrics highlight the suffering and death in the world, emphasizing the need to care for the living. This awakes a sense of deep compassion and concern for others, appealing to the listener's empathy.
Inspiration: The lyrics encourage the listener to take action and make a difference. The phrases "make a little space," "make a better place," and "heal the world" inspire listeners to contribute positively to creating a better environment for themselves and humanity.
Joy and fulfillment: "Heal the world" suggests the depth of satisfaction and joy you can experience from caring for people and spreading love. The idea of joyful giving and the blissful state where fear and dread cease to exist creates a sense of emotional well-being and contentment.
Majorly, these lyrics express a heartfelt desire for a more compassionate and harmonious world, while emphasizing the transformative power of love and the individual's capacity to make a positive impact.
Having come to this point, you must understand how demanding this piece of writing is, and the song itself has maintained a tone that flags down your attention to the major role you should not defy. And that is the call for you to spread love, give hope, meet a need, and encourage the faith of goodness. Exactly how to heal the world!

Mark 2:16-17(Nkjv)
When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?
When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
