Sing for Tibet 2013 was held on 11 December 2013 (11.12.13) to highlight the critical situation in Tibet, where as many as 124 Tibetans have given up their lives in the form of human torches to protest the repressive Chinese rule.

The gathering sang:
It is a peaceful gathering, with each supporter coming with an item that
has to do with Tibet, or such as we have created on our
merchandise page
for the event — a T-shirt, a poster, a cap, etc.
The proceeds from the sale of the merchandise will be used in administrative works.
Excess in funds will be used for other similar campaigns in the future.
The director of the event,
Lobsang Wangyal,
is an experienced producer of events.
He has been producing different events since 2000,
most of which were produced without outside funding.
(His pockets have gotten flat over the years.)

Sing for Tibet 2013: We Are the World

lyrics
-
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
-
We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
-
[Chorus]
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
-
Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
-
[Chorus]
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
-
When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one
-
[Chorus]
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
