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.

For the World - Lyrics
Singer/Songwriter/Composer - Nikhil Gangavane
Featuring - Aum Gangavane
Recording Engineer - Ishaan Devasthali
We’ve been always ignoring
The wars and our violent ways
The rising smoke darkened our brightest days
The children who have been missing
Are crying being lost and alone
No one to love them now, they have not a home
Flowing to the seas are rivers of tears
Can’t we just wipe them off with our love and care
Its still not so late to get back what we have lost
Set free the love so pure that’s deep in our hearts
Let’s throw all this hatred far away from our souls
As we’re singing…
A prayer to bring peace for the world
Forever we will stay in peace
Together caring for the world
The nature lost all its wonders
When trees fell down in the dust
Why do we keep wounding our mother earth
The grounds shaken by the thunders
The creatures dying away
And still, we fail to feel all their pain
Fading in the past is a lost paradise
To bring back the grace of our world we all must strive
Its still not so late to get back what we have lost
Set free the love so pure that’s deep in our hearts
Lets throw all this hatred far away from our souls
As we’re singing…
A prayer to bring peace for the world
Forever we will stay
In peace together caring for the world
Higher in the skies
Closer to the light
Our love will take us there
If we all try
Together we all can make this
A place where no one would cry
Making our dreams come true… Reach out for the sky
Wash away your fears
Bring your hopes back to life
Holding our hands we can fill our heart with joy
Its still not so late to get back what we have lost
Set free the love so pure that’s deep in our hearts
Lets throw all this hatred far away from our souls
As we’re singing…
A prayer to bring peace for the world
Forever we will stay
In peace together caring for the world
Forever we will stay
In peace together caring for the world
Forever we will stay
In peace together caring for the world
