He got kicked in the back
He say that he needed that
He hot willed in the face
Keep daring to motivate
He say one day you will see
His place in world history
He dares to be recognized
The fires deep in his eyes
How many victims must there be
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many struggles must there be
Before we choose to live the prophet's plan
Everybody...
Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Don't let no one get you down
Keep movin' on higher ground
Keep flying until
You are the king of the hill
No force of nature can break
Your will to self motivate
She say this face that you see
Is destined for history
How many people have to cry
The song of pain and grief across the land
And how many children have to die
Before we stand to lend a healing hand
Everybody sing...
Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony
All nations sing
Let's harmonize all around the world
How many victims must there be
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many children must we see
Before we learn to live as brothers
And create one family oh...
Every day create your history
Every path you take you're leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn you're writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony
A solider dies
A mother cries
The promised child shines in a baby's eyes
All nations sing
Let's harmonize all around the world
我承认对这首歌的偏爱，虽然它并非M.J.的巅峰之作，也算不得流行乐坛的经典，加之它的内容，它的深度，它的内涵，这并不是一首容易理解的歌曲。所以它绝无可能在大众领域里流行。虽然这首歌结构凌乱，各段似乎毫无关联，但通观全篇，正是这些互不关联的内容形成了一个有机的整体，呈现出了一个我们生活着的真实世界。这是一个什么样的世界？动荡不安也许是对它最好的注解；它有着什么样的历史？永无休止的战争，永不停止的争端，永不消失的矛盾，永远存在的危机；今年又是怎样的一年？也许和过去的千百年来一样的普通，一样的无奈，一样的浮躁，一样的喧嚣。而当歌曲开始之时，雄壮交响乐的背后，暗含着危机，随着象征战争的鼓声和钟声，一个个年份的读出，沉重的历史感混杂着儿童的喃喃自语和新闻播音员的播报，好像一个个历史事件，将这个不安和喧嚣的世界真实地刻画出来。而在歌曲的中段和高潮穿插着著名的演说片断，比如马丁·路德·金的伟大演讲《I have a dream》。在歌曲的最后，再次出现了年代的叙述，进而增添了这份历史感的沉重，最后以约翰·肯尼迪的言论作为结束。这首歌整体的配乐安排是我最为欣赏的，它给我最初的印象就是，震撼。是的，我深深地被震住了，因为之前，我怎么也不会想到音乐也可以表达历史，特别是历史的沉重，可是它做到了，真的很棒。
