"Children, show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. These children are a reminder of the preciousness of all life. Especially young lives untouched by hatred, prejudice, and greed. Now when the world is so confused and its problems so complicated, we need our children more than ever. The Mission of Heal The World, my Mission, is healing. Pure and simple. To heal the world, we must start by healing our children. Being with them connects us to the deep wisdom of life. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts. We have to heal our wounded planet. I wrote this song for everyone in our world, in an effort to help bring global harmony."
~ Michael Jackson
