África I hear the drums echoing tonight she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation She's coming in 12:30 flight The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation I stopped an old man along the way Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies He turned to me as if to say. "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you" It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in África Gonna take some time to do the things we never had The wild dogs cry out in the night As they grow restless longing for some solitary company I know that I must do what's right sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengetti I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in África Gonna take some time to do the things we never had Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do I bless the rains down in África I bless the rains down in África I bless the rains down in África I bless the rains down in África I bless the rains down in África Gonna take some time to do the things we never had Toto
[Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry & Daryl Hall]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
[Michael Jackson]
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
[Huey Lewis]
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
[Cindy Lauper]
Well, well, well, well let us realize that a change can only come
[Kim Carnes]
When we stand together as one
Chorus:
[Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen & James Ingram]
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
We are the world....

Las jirafas viven en Áfricay son la especie animal viviente más alta, puede medir hasta 6 metros, es decir, más de tres veces una persona. La jirafa es el único mamífero que no tiene cuerdas vocales, por lo que es completamente muda. La lengua de la jirafa puede llegar a medir 45 centímetros. Las jirafas son famosas por su cuello largo, que les permite alcanzar las hojas más altas y tiernas de los árboles y sus largas patas delanteras, que son mucho más largas que las traseras. Esa proporción y longitud les obliga a un inusual paso moviendo primero las patas de un lado y luego las del otro a poca velocidad, y cruzando las patas traseras en el exterior cuando van a toda velocidad. Las jirafas son una presa difícil y peligrosa. Se defienden con una poderosa coz capaz de partir el cráneo o la columna de un león. La jirafa normalmente habita en sabanas o en espacios abiertos. Sin embargo, cuando el alimento escasea, es capaz de adentrarse en áreas con densa vegetación. Pueden beber grandes cantidades de agua cuando está disponible, lo que les permite sobrevivir a grandes periodos secos en tierras áridas. Además tiene unos pequeños cuernos, que aparecen en ambos sexos, aunque los de las hembras son más pequeños. El régimen alimenticio de la jirafa concuerda con su físico; come las hojas de los árboles para lo cual le sirve su larga lengua.
