BLOG BLAST FOR PEACE!!!

Until we learn to love one another and take care of our worlds, the future of our children's children will not be certain...

"Earth Song" is the third single from Michael Jackson's album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I. It is a ballad that incorporates elements of blues, gospel and opera. Jackson had a long-standing history of releasing socially conscious material such as "We Are the World", "Man in the Mirror" and "Heal the World". However, "Earth Song" was the first that overtly dealt with the environment and animal welfare.

The song was written and composed by Michael...and it is my favorite.
