For the World

On 1st May 2002, Michael Jackson fans across the globe collaborated to get together 1 million children to sing songs promoting peace. The main event in India was organised in Pune for a 3000+ strong audience. FOR THE WORLD was performed with a choir of 700 children and 30 musicians that included 20 violinists along with many other lead chorus singers and choreographers.

The conceptualization of this song and its huge launch wouldn’t have been possible without an inspiration from TheBlueGoddess and the support of my family, Michael Jackson, Frank Dileo, Michael Jackson Management, Wilhelmina Pitrof, Tammy Mills, Deepika Parab, Rajan Shah, Rupali Bhandari, Nishigandha Gangavane, Yatish Bhandari, Aniket Satav, Amit Karale, Anjali Wadhwani, Monica Wadhwani, Bahar Gaokar, Yogesh Wagh, Pt.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you and appreciate all you have done.

I would also like to thank the 1000+ participants from from the Airforce School (Pune), Kendriya Vidyalaya (Vimannagar), Vidya Niketan (Bibewadi), The Violin Academy, Fulora (Sahakarnagar), all the dancers and lead chorus singers that joined us through their teachers.

Awareness of Global Issues: The song addresses the tendency to overlook wars and violence, as well as the environmental crisis, urging people to pay attention and take action. It highlights the plight of children who are missing, lost, and alone, calling for a response of love and care. The song mourns the loss of nature’s wonders and the damage inflicted on Earth, advocating for a more respectful and protective approach to the environment. Despite the challenges, the song carries a message of hope, suggesting that it’s not too late to restore what has been lost and to set free the pure love in our hearts. The chorus is a prayer for peace and a commitment to stay together in peace, caring for the world.

Overall, “For the World” is a heartfelt plea for unity and action to create a better, more peaceful world. It’s a reminder that through collective effort and love, we can overcome the challenges facing humanity and the planet.
