《We Are The World - 天下一家》是著名流行歌王迈克尔•杰克逊和莱昂纳尔•里奇(Lionel Richie) 于1985年为赈济非洲饥民的 United Support of Artists for Africa 团体所写的歌曲， 多达45个流行音乐家参与录音。这首为援救非洲饥民而义卖的唱片，歌词，歌曲感人，震撼了亿万人的心，很快风靡全球，创录音艺术史上收益最高的单曲，最终有来自两千多万唱片销售收益的6000多万美元直接送抵非洲灾区。
1985年1月歌曲录制期间正值美国音乐奖大会在影城好莱坞举行， 杰克逊为了录制指导其他艺术家的合唱歌曲，没有出席美国音乐奖颁奖仪式。其录制过程也被生动地记录下来(见下面连接)。参加录制的流行音乐家可说是众星闪烁，他们的真诚合作，使彼此相互辉映，让歌曲充满激情。

虽然不是流行音乐的爱好者，但每次听到这首歌，都会被深深地打动。
1984年5月14日，美国总统里根在白宫向杰克逊发奖，赞扬他所支持的帮助人们克服酗酒和吸毒的慈善机构。
杰克逊于1992年建立了“Heal the World Foundation”慈善组织。他在 1992年6月27日和 1993年11月11日期间举行 The Dangerous World Tour 巡回演唱，有350万人参加了67 场音乐会。

音乐会的全部所得均捐给 Heal the World Foundation 。该基金会捐出数百万美元在全球各地帮助受到战争和疾病威胁的儿童们。
杰克逊在艾滋病仍然是有争议的疾病的时候，提请公众关注艾滋病。在克林顿总统1993年的就职晚会上公开呼吁克林顿政府给予艾滋病的慈善和研究机构更多的财政资助。

克林顿夫妇在晚会上和众多艺术家一起演唱《We Are The World - 天下一家》。
杰克逊在2006 年的世界音乐奖大会上接受钻石奖后，和一群孩子们再次演唱《We Are The World - 天下一家》这首歌曲，这也是他参加的最后一次合唱演唱。

杰克逊的名字在全世界几乎是尽人皆知，虽然可能是出于不同的原因。相信杰克逊在音乐史与慈善事业上的贡献将会被永久纪念。
也希望在杰克逊的追悼会上，能够再次演唱他最喜爱的这首歌。他打破了音乐界的种族隔阂，为公众事业做出了杰出的贡献(据报导一生捐款达3亿美金)，体现了天下一家的丰富内涵。
We are the world, we are the children。We are the ones to make a brighter day 。
歌词-Michael JacksonWe are the World (USA for Africa) Lyrics:
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying and it′s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can′t go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of Gods great big family
And the truth, you know, Love is all we need
[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So let's start giving
there′s a choice we're making
We're saving out own lives
it′s true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart so they'll
know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
And as God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So let's start giving there′s a choice we're making
We're saving out own lives
it′s true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
When you′re down and out,
there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
there′s no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
[Chorus:]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So let's start giving
there′s a choice we're making
We're saving out own lives
it′s true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
