[Verse 1: Barry Gibb]
Now I got a mission
The story unfolds
What the wise men have told you, is already known
That a woman and a man
Should go by the plan
And we find out, how high we can fly

There's just one religion
One family of love
We suffer the children
As God cries above
And the giving, not the taking
With hearts open wide
And it looks like we fall
And it burns like a flame
Any ground that I claim

[Pre-Chorus]
So what is my life
If I don't believe
There is someone to watch me
Follow my dreams
Take all my chances, like those who dare?
And what of our world
What does it become
When the damage is done?
And you held out, you said no, you stand up

[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
Only God knows
That it’s all in the game
It’s all in Your Name
Carry me to the Gates of Paradise
They're the same
It's all in Your Name

[Verse 2: Barry Gibb]
Look to Heaven
An Angel appears
To love and protect us
Through all of our tears
And the gateway to peace
It stands open wide
And it looks like we fall
And it burns like a flame
Any ground that I claim

[Pre-Chorus]
So what is my life
If I don't believe
There is someone to watch me
Follow my dreams
Take all my chances, like those who dare?
And where is the peace
We're searching for
Under the shadows of war?
Can we hold out, and stand up, and say no?

[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
Only God knows
That it's all in the game (Oh)
It's all in Your Name (Oh yeah)
Follow me to the Gates of Paradise
They're the same
It's all in Your Name

[Bridge: Barry Gibb & Michael Jackson]
Say the word and I'll be there
To love you, and understand you
[?]
Will they all know [?] (It's over)
Then we'll all know [?] (It's over)
See? that it's done [?] (And it's all in Your Name)

[Chorus: Michael Jackson]
It's all in the game
It's all in Your Name
Follow me through the Gates of Paradise
They're the same (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

It's all in the game
It's all in Your Name
Follow me through the Gates of Paradise
They're the same
They're the same (yeah-yeah)

[Outro: Michael Jackson]
It's all in the game
It's all in the game
Follow me through the Gates of Paradise
They're the same
It's all in Your Name

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
