Make ONE change in your life, at least one. Michael knew our world was in grave danger before he passed, and we've seen just how close his predictions may be with all of the recent disasters (natural and man-made) in the last year alone. If we don't do something NOW, it's at the point of no-return, just like Michael said. Michael touched BILLIONS of people with his humanitarian work and his music. If each of us commit to making at least one small life change, well, we can make a difference.Sadly, Michael is no longer here … so we have to continue his fight for him. It's up to US!
His words were never truer than they are today. "It's US, or else it'll never be done."
Please pass this video, or at least this MESSAGE, along. There isn't a moment to waste. Our lives, our futures, and the future of our children, depend on it!! Don't let Michael's work and message fall on deaf ears. In addition to fighting for the TRUTH and JUSTICE for Michael and HIS good name, we must also fight to make his untimely and tragic passing count for something more. He loved this world more than any human being in our lifetime ever did or could. What better way to honor his legacy than to preserve life on this planet for his children, and our own?
Remember. It's all for L.O.V.E.
We've Had Enough - By Michael Joseph Jackson - Lyrics:
Love was taken from a young life
And no one told her why
Her direction has a dim-light
From one more violent crime
She innocently questioned why
Why her father had to die
She asked the men in blue
How is it that you get to choose
Who will live and who will die
Did God say that you could decide ?
You saw he didn't run
And that my daddy had no gun
In the middle of a village
Way in a distant land
Lies a poor boy with his broken toy
Too young to understand
He's awaken, ground is shakin'
His father grabs his hand
Screaming, crying, his wife's dying
Now he's left to explain
He innocently questioned why
Why his mother had to die
What did these soldiers come here for ?
If they're for peace, why is there war ?
Did God say that they could decide
Who will live and who will die ?
All my mama ever did
Was try to take care of her kids
We're innocently standing by
Watching people lose their lives
It seems as if we have no voice
It's time for us to make a choice
Only God could decide
Who will live and who will die
There's nothing that can't be done
If we raise our voice as one
They've gotta hear it from me
They've gotta hear it from you
They've gotta hear it from us
We can't take it
We've already had enough
They've gotta hear it from me
They've gotta hear it from you
They've gotta hear it from us
We can't take it
We've already had enough
They've gotta hear it from me
They've gotta hear it from you
They've gotta hear it from you baby
We can't take it
We've already had enough
Deep in my soul baby
Deep in your soul and let God decide
Deep in my soul
It's up to me and I'm still alive
They've gotta hear it from us
We can't take it
We've already had enough
It's going down baby
Just let God decide,
It's going on baby
Just let God decide
Deep in my soul baby
We've already had enough
They've gotta hear it from me
They've gotta hear it from you
They've gotta hear it from us
We can't, we can't
We've already had enough
CREATIVE NOTES regarding this Fan Video:
I decided to take the first verse quite literally, focusing on the devastating loss of Michael himself. We all know that the media, in the end, is what truly killed MJ. The libel, the slander, the lies and the never-ending distortion of the truth; Michael’s soul could only take so much abuse. From the tender age of 5, this was a man who lost his childhood, his innocence and his privacy – and the world never allowed him a chance to reclaim any of it. I truly believe that people like Joe Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Martin Bashir, Tom Sneddon, Ed Bradley, and so many others in between, all had just as much to do with Michael’s death as Conrad Murray ultimately did. Each one of them helped chip away pieces of his giant heart until, on June 25th, 2009, it finally shattered under all the pressure.
For the second verse of the song, I took a more metaphorical approach. Michael loved the planet so deeply – and the environment is such a large part of Michael’s message – and that is why I identified with ‘Mother Earth’ for the verse dealing with the loss of the mother.
In the end, I circle back to the media and the people most responsible for ‘Mother Earth’ losing her greatest, and most passionate, advocate. I’m hoping it emphasizes just how much WE need to pick up the slack now that Michael is no longer here to speak out himself. Just because he is gone, it does not mean his message and his hope cannot live on through US!
Thank you for watching, for reading, and I hope you will take one good look at the man, or woman, in the mirror today and decide to “make a change” for yourself – and for all of us! Sending my L.O.V.E. and gratitude to you all, and most of all, I am sending my love to Michael. Rest now, sweet angel. Your job is done; we can take it from here.
