I 'm starting with the man

Edited on Mon Jun-29-09 10:37 PM by lildreamer316

in the mirror; I'm asking him to change his ways..
No message could have been any clearer: If you want the world to be a better place
take a look at yourself and make a change.

Yeah, no progressive values here, move along. Just celebrity..you know, the kind that reaches millions of people.

:sarcasm:

2. I really love the lyrics to that song and Jackson sung it beautifully!

Sayeda Garrett wrote it though. She said Jackson told her that was one of his favorite songs. Good for her!

10. This song warms my heart.

I'm glad someone had the creativity to make it because I think it's really important that other people hear the message.

Definitely one of my favorites.
