《We Are The World - 天下一家》是著名流行歌王邁克爾•傑克遜和萊昂納爾•裏奇(Lionel Richie) 於1985年為賑濟非洲饑民的 United Support of Artists for Africa 團體所寫的歌曲， 多達45個流行音樂家參與錄音。這首為援救非洲饑民而義賣的唱片，歌詞，歌曲感人，震撼了億萬人的心，很快風靡全球，創錄音藝術史上收益最高的單曲，最終有來自兩千多萬唱片銷售收益的6000多萬美元直接送抵非洲災區。
1985年1月歌曲錄製期間正值美國音樂獎大會在影城好萊塢舉行， 傑克遜為了錄製指導其他藝術家的合唱歌曲，沒有出席美國音樂獎頒獎儀式。其錄製過程也被生動地記錄下來(見下麵連接)。參加錄製的流行音樂家可說是眾星閃爍，他們的真誠合作，使彼此相互輝映，讓歌曲充滿激情。

雖然不是流行音樂的愛好者，但每次聽到這首歌，都會被深深地打動。
1984年5月14日，美國總統裏根在白宮向傑克遜發獎，讚揚他所支持的幫助人們克服酗酒和吸毒的慈善機構。
傑克遜於1992年建立了“Heal the World Foundation”慈善組織。他在 1992年6月27日和 1993年11月11日期間舉行 The Dangerous World Tour 巡回演唱，有350萬人參加了67 場音樂會。

音樂會的全部所得均捐給 Heal the World Foundation 。該基金會捐出數百萬美元在全球各地幫助受到戰爭和疾病威脅的兒童們。
傑克遜在艾滋病仍然是有爭議的疾病的時候，提請公眾關注艾滋病。在克林頓總統1993年的就職晚會上公開呼籲克林頓政府給予艾滋病的慈善和研究機構更多的財政資助。

克林頓夫婦在晚會上和眾多藝術家一起演唱《We Are The World - 天下一家》。
傑克遜在2006 年的世界音樂獎大會上接受鑽石獎後，和一群孩子們再次演唱《We Are The World - 天下一家》這首歌曲，這也是他參加的最後一次合唱演唱。

傑克遜的名字在全世界幾乎是盡人皆知，雖然可能是出於不同的原因。相信傑克遜在音樂史與慈善事業上的貢獻將會被永久紀念。
也希望在傑克遜的追悼會上，能夠再次演唱他最喜愛的這首歌。他打破了音樂界的種族隔閡，為公眾事業做出了傑出的貢獻(據報導一生捐款達3億美金)，體現了天下一家的豐富內涵。
We are the world, we are the children。We are the ones to make a brighter day 。
歌詞-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
