We Are The World
There comes a time when we heed a certain call.
When the world must come together as one.
There are people dying.
Oh, when 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 God’s great big family,
And the truth, you know,
Love is all we need.
We are the world, we are the children.
We are the ones who make a brighter day,
So let’s start giving.
There’s a choice we’re making,
We’re saving our own lives.
It’s true, we’ll make a better day,
Just you and me.
Well, send them your heart so they’ll know that someone cares,
And their lives will be stronger and free.
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread,
And so we all must lend a helping hand.
We are the world, we are the children.
We are the ones who make a brighter day,
So let’s start giving.
Oh, there’s a choice we’re making,
We’re saving our own lives.
It’s true, we’ll make a better day,
Just you and me.
When you’re down and out, and there seems no hope at all,
But if you just believe, there’s no way we can fall.
Well, well, well,
Let us realize, oh, that a change can only come,
When we stand together as one.
We are the world, we are the children.
We are the ones who make a brighter day,
So let’s start giving.
Oh, there’s a choice we’re making,
We’re saving our own lives.
It’s true, we’ll make a better day,
Just you and me.

The word ‘mistletoe’ is believed to stem from the Saxon ‘mistl-tan’, meaning ‘different twig.’
Note: Raw white mistletoe berries are very poisonous and tend to fall off the plant easily. They have been known to cause seizures or death when accidently ingested. Indeed, here in Ireland we are more inclined to have in our homes, hanging over our doors, the ornamental plastic variety, since ingesting real mistletoe berries can be especially lethal to small children and household pets.
Historically, mistletoe [A parasitic plant, that derives some or all of its nutritional requirements from a wide range of host trees], represents romance, fertility, and vitality. Celtic Druids valued mistletoe for its healing properties. Its berries ripen in December, with the plant continuing to remain green, hence its appeal at Christmas.
Warning: Let be it known to all you ladies, young or old, you the fairer sex, cannot ever refuse to grant a kiss, if caught under a bunch of mistletoe. Ladies also please note, such a kiss under mistletoe will greatly increase your chances of marriage within the next 12 months.
According to an ancient custom, ladies not kissed will remain single until next Christmas.
Gentlemen Note: After each kiss, one berry should be removed from the mistletoe bunch. A fresh bunch of course can then be introduced, should you be required to kiss a lot of women.
Yes, it’s not an easy job for the male species, but let’s face it, someone has got to do it.
