FMM: Wish for the World

They say this pandemic is a great equalizer.

Despite distance, despite borders, despite differences, different countries find themselves fighting the same invisible enemy. Whether it's a 1st world or 3rd world country, people find themselves in the same situation, facing the same difficulty.

And despite differences, they find themselves praying for the same thing. For our world to heal. That's why this Friday Magic Madness song from The King of Pop is an anthem of sorts for people today.



We pray that the world heals.

And it heals very, very, very soon.

FMM: Time to Heal

Hot off the heels of Maestro's "We Heal as One," I thought that for the next few weeks, I'd play Friday Magic Madness songs that are dedicated to healing. It's what we wish for, especially for the sick, and it's also what we wish for the whole world.

First up, this 80s song from Deniece Williams.



Apart from being a hit on the radio, it was also a favourite song to sing during singing contests. Many a "Bagong Kampeon" contestants sang this - from my recollection. Aside from it being a vocal showcase, the lyrics are also very uplifting, which was a hit among judges.

So, as I listen to this song again, I always remember the refrain during this trying times:

"Lord, I know that Your love is Healing."
