On Thursday (October 13, 2011) we spoke about English as an earthquake. This makes us remember an event in the past: the earthquake in Haiti that ocurred on January 12, 2010. This catastrophic event left millions of people without water, food and shelter.
Two weeks later, a group of around 80 artists and performers joined and using The English language in one song they try to raise funds to help the people of Haiti. With this they can prove that English is more than an earthquake, because an earthquake just move the people of Haiti and the "English" moved the rest of the people in the world to help those in need.
The song "We Are The World" was writen by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and was reproduced by 45 artist, being released in 1985 to raise funds to the campaign "USA for Africa".
In 2010 this song suffer some modifications including in title to "We Are The World 25 For Haiti" to help the victims of the earthquake on Haiti but also to celebrate the 25 years of the original song being recorded in the same studio (A&M Recording Studios) that the original song. This version counts with executive producer Quincy Jones and as producer Lionel Richie.
The song "We Are The World 25 for Haiti" pretends to show to all the people in the world, that this world where we live is made by all the people, also pretends to show that if we think in those in needs and help them we can have a better day because we feel better with ourselves. this song ask to all world to help the others because one day if we need something there are people that will help us to.
"We Are The World 25 for Haiti" shows union between the artists and performers, shows friendship and shows one way to become the world a better place to live. As Lionel Richie said "We are the world 25 is an opportunity for us to see what we can do to help our fellow men..."

( LL Cool J, Will-I-Am, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beatz)
We all need somebody that we can lean on
When you wake up look around and see that your dreams gone
When the earth quakes we'll help you make it through the storm
When the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on
We are the World united by love so strong
When the radio isn't on you can hear the songs
A guided light on the dark road your walking on
A sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
Someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
Someone to help you rebuild after the rubble's gone
We are the World connected by a common bond
Love the whole planet sing it along
( LL Cool J, Will-I-Am, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beatz)

When the radio isn't on you can hear the songs
A guided light on the dark road your walking on
