VERSE 1
[Celine Dion]: How many people will have to die before we will take a stand?
How many children will have to cry, before we do all we can?
If sending your love is all you can give
To help one live
How many times can we turn our heads
And pretend we cannot see
[Mariah Carey]: Healing the wounds of our broken earth
We are one global family
Just sending your prayers
[Beyoncé]: Is something you'll feel
Helping one heal

CHORUS
What have I got that I can give?
What have I got that I can give?
(Tell me)
What have I got that I can give?
[Justin Timberlake]: (Hey-yeah, oh-oh)
To love and to teach you
To hold and to need you [Justin Timberlake]: (hold and need you)
What more can I give? (what can I give?)

VERSE 2
Brother to brother
Lay down our fears and reach out and make a pact
[Gloria Estefan]: Show him the love that is in our hearts let us bring salvation back
[Luthor Vandross]: Just sending your love has the power to heal
So let's all give

CHORUS
What have I got that I can give?
[Luthor Vandross]: (Is not allowed to give just a little bit)
What have I got that I can give?
[Luthor Vandross]: (Everyone should be a part of it)
To love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give?

VERSE 3
[Michael Jackson]: Say the words
I'll lay me down for you
[Celine Dion]: Just call my name
I am your friend
[Michael Jackson]: See, then why do they keep teaching us
Such hate and cruelty?
We should give over and over again

CHORUS
What have I got that I can give?
[Michael Jackson]: (We should give over and over again!)
What have I got that I can give?
[Michael Jackson]: (Oh my god, oh my god)
(Oh my Lord)
See, to love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give?
What have I got that I can give?
What have I got that I can give?
(give you, give to you)
See, to love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give?
What have I got that I can give?
(What More Can I give?)
What have I got that I can give?
(I wanna give to you, give it to you)
See, to love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give
(they think I'm wasting my time now)
What have I got that I can give?
(To give it to you, we wanna give to you)
What have I got that I can give?
To hold and conceal you
To love and to heal you
What more can I give?
(Give me, give me one time more)
What have I got that I can give?
(What I got, what have I got)
(Say your prayers)
What have I got that I can give?
(Show the world how much you really care)
To love and to teach you
(To love you, teach you)
To hold and to need you
(To hold you, to need you)
(What more?)
What more can I give?
What have I got that I can give?
(What can I give? Tell me what can I give you)
What have I got that I can give?
To hold and conceal you
To love and to heal you
What more can I give?

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.
