Que dis la voix d’enfant au début de la chanson ? Quelle idée est répétée ?

“Think about the generations and they say we want to make a better place for children and their children’s children. So that they know it’s a better world for them. And think if the can make it a better place.”  ___________________________________________________ IV.

Complete the lyrics:

____________________________ ____________________________ And this place could be much _________________than tomorrow And if you really _______________ You'll find there's no need to ______ In this place you'll feel There's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there If you care enough for the living Make a little space Make a better place

Heal the world ____________________ ______________________ And the entire human race There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make it a better place For you and for me

Put the lyrics in the right order

N°…….There's love that cannot lie N°…….We stop existing and start living N°……..In this bliss we cannot feel N°……..It only cares of joyful giving N°……..Love is strong N°……..Fear of dread N°……..If you want to know why N°……..If we try we shall see

The it feels that always Love's enough for us growing So make a better world Make a better place

N°…….If you care enough for the living N°……..And the entire human race N°……..For you and for me

N°…….There are people dying N°…….Heal the world N°…….Make it a better place

Make a better place for you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in Will reveal a joyful face And the world we once believed in Will shine again in grace Then why do we keep strangling life Wound this earth, crucify its soul Though it's plain to see This world is heavenly Be god's glow

We could fly so high Let our spirits never die In my heart I feel you are all my brothers Create a world with no fear Together we cry happy tears See the nations turn their swords into plowshares

We could really get there If you cared enough for the living Make a little space To make a better place

Et le monde auquel nous avons cru un jour Brillera à nouveau merveilleusement



Alors pourquoi continuons-nous à étouffer la vie A blesser cette terre A crucifier son âme

Dans mon coeur, je sens que vous êtes tous mes frères

Créons un monde sans peur Ensemble nous verserons des larmes de joie Nous verrons les nations transformer leurs épées en outils
