From my dad.
There’s a wiki article that talks about the making of the original video, which I read with great interest. Much of the song was written by MJ… shouldn’t surprise anyone. Besides his unparalleled talent for showmanship, the other thing that strikes me about MJ is his rather childlike perspective on changing the world, which the lyrics in this song are… no different. ::lol::
I’m appalled that people could criticize the song for being too simplistic, though. Sure, it’s not artistically challenging, but hell, that’s not what it’s FOR. Come off your high horse and just revel in the beauty of the human spirit.
The chorus is especially powerful. All those beautiful voices singing in harmony. ::happy sigh::
