History Repeats Itself. When there is crisis then people come together. January 24, 2010 : 'We Are The World' remake to benefit Haiti recovery. Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie are assembling an all-star lineup of musicians to re-record We Are The World in an effort to raise money for Haiti, according to the Celebrity News Service.

The 1985 song was written by Richie and Michael Jackson. Featuring the voices of Diana Ross, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder and more, the tune raised tens of millions of dollars for Africa.

The new plan is to convene a similar panel of today's hit-makers right after next Sunday night's Grammy Awards at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.

"This time the artists invited include Usher, Natalie Cole, and John Legend. But you can bet that more names will be added shortly and that all the Grammy nominees and participants will be asked to come as well," says the Hollywood Reporter's Showbiz 411 blog. "Grammy producer Ken Ehrlich will produce the event, which will then be turned into a video and single just like it was in 1985. Don’t be surprised if Wyclef Jean joins in, along with Sting, Fergie, Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake and other distinctive voices."

It seems there were already plans in place to remake "We Are The World" this year to celebrate its 25th anniversary, but plans were moved up after the Haiti earthquake. It's also believed that Jackson's voice will be added to the new single as well.

We are reminded that we are one.

Somebody's filled with hate,
His faith is all about a certain
too busy thinkin' bout the pain
to bother checkin' why it's hurtin'

So come on make it right - tonight
gotta get in the light
doesn't matter who you are
when you movin' up with Alcazar

This is the world we live in (ohohoh)
and these are the hands we givin (ohohoh)
use them and let's start tryin' (ohohoh)
to make it a place worth livin' in (ohohoh)

this is the world we live in (ohohoh)
and these are the hands we're givin (ohohoh)
use them and let's start tryin' (ohohoh)
to make it a place worth livin' in (ohohoh)

when you're movin' up with alcazar
(movin movin movin)
when you're movin' up with alcazar
(movin movin movin)

Like a circle made of flames
no telling where it started burnin'
oh for ev'ry fire you contain
a new one keeps the circle turnin'

So come on make it right - tonight
gotta get in the light
doesn't matter who you are
when you movin' up with Alcazar

This is the world we live in (ohohoh)
and these are the hands we're givin (ohohoh)
you say them let's start tryin' (ohohoh)
to make it a place we're livin' in (where we live in)

This is the world we live in (ohohoh)
and these are the hands we're givin (ohohoh)
you say them let's start tryin' (let's start tryin)
to make it a place we're livin' in

movin'
movin' movin' movin'
movin' movin'
move move move move move

doesn't matter who you are
when you're movin up with Alcazar

This is the world we live in (ohohoh)
and these are the hands we're givin (ohohoh)
you say them let's start tryin' (ohohoh)
to make it a place we're livin' in
