2.- HEAL THE WORLD

Heal the world is a song sang by Micheal Jackson. This song talks about society in our world and says to us that we have to make a better world fighting together for our objectives. Also talks about love and friends. This song helped me to think about life because life is too short, and we have to live our lives full. I belive that the song is saying that our world is important and we have to solve our problems with other people for being happy and finally, making a better place.
