        Stranger In Moscow by Michael Jackson

        I was wandering in the rain
        Mask of life, feelin' insane
        Swift and sudden fall from grace
        Sunny days seem far away
        Kremlin's shadow belittlin' me
        Stalin's tomb won't let me be
        On and on and on it came
        Wish the rain would just let me be

        How does it feel
        When you're alone
        And you're cold inside

        Here abandoned in my fame
        Armageddon of the brain
        KGB was doggin' me
        Take my name and just let me be
        Then a begger boy called my name
        Happy days will drown the pain
        On and on and on it came
        And the rain ...
        Take my name and just let me be

        How does it feel
        When you're alone
        And you're cold inside

        Like a stranger in Moscow
        We're talkin' danger
        I'm livin' lonely
        Like a stranger in Moscow








        Man In The Mirror by Michael Jackson

        I'm gonna make a change,
        for once im my life
        It's gonna feel real good,
        gonna make a diference
        Gonna make it right...

        As I, turn up the collar on
        my favorite winter coat
        This wind is blowing my mind
        I see the kids in the streets,
        with out enough to eat
        Who am I to be blind?
        Pretending not to see their needs

        A summer disregard,
        a broken bottle top
        And one man�s soul
        They follow each other on the wind ya' know
        'Cause they got nowhere to go
        That's why I want you to know

        I'm starting with the man in the mirror
        I'm asking him to change his ways
        And no message could have been any clearer
        If you wanna make the world a better place
        Take a look at yourself, and then make a change

        I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
        It's time that I realize
        That there are some with no home, not a nickel to loan
        Could it be really me,
        pretending that they're not alone?

        A willow deeply scarred, somebody's broken heart
        And a washed-out dream
        They follow the pattern of the wind ya' see
        'Cause they got no place to be
        That's why I'm starting with me

        I'm starting with the man in the mirror
        I'm asking him to change his ways
        And no message could have been any clearer
        If you wanna make the world a better place
        Take a look at yourself, and
        Make that change.







        Gone Too Soon by Michael Jackson

        Like a comet
        Blazing 'cross the evening sky
        Gone too soon

        Like a rainbow
        Fading in the twinkling of an eye
        Gone too soon

        Shiny and sparkly
        And splendidly bright
        Here one day
        Gone one night

        Like the loss of sunlight
        On a cloudy afternoon
        Gone too soon

        Like a castle
        Built upon a sandy beach
        Gone too soon

        Like a perfect flower
        That is just beyond your reach
        Gone too soon

        Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
        Here one day
        Gone one night

        Like a sunset
        Dying with the rising of the moon
        Gone too soon
        Gone too soon








        Earth Song by Michael Jackson

        What about sunrise
        What about rain
        What about all the things
        That you said we were to gain.. .
        What about killing fields
        Is there a time
        What about all the things
        That you said was yours and mine...
        Did you ever stop to notice
        All the blood we've shed before
        Did you ever stop to notice
        The crying Earth, the weeping shores?

        What have we done to the world?
        Look what we've done
        What about all the peace
        That you pledge your only son...
        What about flowering fields
        Is there a time
        What about all the dreams
        That you said was yours and mine...
        Did you ever stop to notice
        All the children dead from war
        Did you ever stop to notice
        The crying Earth the weeping shores

        I used to dream
        I used to glance beyond the stars
        Now I don't know where we are
        Although I know we've drifted far

        What about yesterday
        What about the seas
        The heavens are falling down
        I can't even breathe
        What about the bleeding Earth
        Can't we feel its wounds
        What about nature's worth
        It's our planet's womb
        What about animals
        We've turned kingdoms to dust
        What about elephants
        Have we lost their trust
        What about crying whales
        We're ravaging the seas
        What about forest trails
        Burnt despite our pleas
        What about the holy land
        Torn apart by creed
        What about the common man
        Can't we set him free
        What about children dying
        Can't you hear them cry
        Where did we go wrong
        Someone tell me why
        What about babies
        What about the days
        What about all their joy
        What about the man
        What about the crying man
        What about Abraham
        What about death again
        Do we give a damn?








        You Are Not Alone written by R. Kelly


        Produced by R. Kelly and Michael Jackson.

        Another day has gone
        I'm still all alone
        How could this be
        You're not here with me
        You never said goodbye
        Someone tell me why
        Did you have to go
        And leave my world so cold

        Everyday I sit and ask myself
        How did love slip away
        Something whispers in my ear and says
        That you are not alone
        For I am here with you
        Though you're far away
        I am here to stay

        Just the other night
        I thought I heard you cry
        Asking me to come
        And hold you in my arms
        I can hear your prayers
        Your burdens I will bear
        But first I need your hand
        So forever can begin

        Everyday I sit and ask myself
        How did love slip away
        Then something whispers in my ear and says
        That you are not alone
        For I am here with you
        Though you're far away
        I am here to stay
        For you are not alone
        I am here with you
        Though we're far apart
        You're always in my heart
        And you are not alone

        Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
        And girl you know that I'll be there
        I'll be there

        For you are not alone







        Someone In The Dark by Michael Jackson

        All alone wishing on stars
        Waiting for you to find me
        One sweet night I knew I would see
        A stranger who'd be my friend

        When someone in the dark reaches out to you
        And touches off a spark that comes shining through
        It tells you never be afraid
        Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
        A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
        Like it was written in the stars I knew
        My friend, my someone in the dark was you

        Promise me we'll always be
        Walking the world together
        Hand in hand where dreams never end
        My star secret friend and me
        When someone in the dark reaches out to you
        And touches off a spark that comes shining through
        It tells you never be afraid
        Then somewhere in your heart you can feel the glow
        A light to keep you warm when the night winds blow
        Look for the rainbow in the sky
        I believe you and I
        Could never really say goodbye
        Wherever you may be
        I'll look up and see
        Someone in the dark for me
        Wherever you may be
        I'll look up and see
        Someone in the dark for me

        Though you're gone so far away
        Each time I see a rainbow
        I'll remember being with you
        Smiles coming through my tears






        Put It On The Line by Michael Jackson

        No sense pretending it's over
        Hard times just don't go away
        You gotta take that chip off your shoulder
        It's time you open up
        Have some faith

        Nothing good ever comes easy
        All good things come in due time
        You gotta have something to believe in
        I'm telling you to open your mind

        Gotta put your heart on the line
        If you wanna make it right
        You've got to reach out and try
        Gotta put your heart on the line
        If you wanna get it right
        Gotta put it all on the line

        You see yourself in the mirror
        And you don't like what you see
        And things are getting much clearer
        Don't you think it's time you go for a change

        Don't waste your time on the past,
        It's time you look to the future
        It's alright there if you ask
        This time if you try much harder
