The ES International Fair is coming soon, on June 8th, to the Green Field.

The Parent’s Committee is organizing this event, and are including the song ‘We Are The World’ by Michael Jackson in their program. This is a sing-a-long for everyone; students, parents and faculty to share, in celebration of our community and our place in the world. We are making these videos and the lyrics available so that we’ll all be ready to join in with full voices and high spirits. Enjoy!

We are the World

(Written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie)

There comes a time when we heed a certain call

When the world must come together as one

There are people dying

And it’s time to lend a hand to life

The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day

That someone, somehow will soon make a change

We are all a part of Gods great big family

And the truth, you know,

Love is all we need

[Chorus]

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let’s start giving

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

Its true we'll make a better day

Just you and me

Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares

And their lives will be stronger and free

As God has shown us by turning stones to bread

So we all must lend a helping hand

[Chorus]

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all

But if you just believe there's no way we can fall

Let us realize that a change can only come

When we stand together as one



[Chorus: x2]
