We Are the World Because ... Nigeria (mixed languages w/translations)

Wenn ich bin nicht Nigeria und ich bin nur Paris, ich bin nichts
(When I am not Nigeria and only Paris, I am nothing)

Quand je suis Paris et non pas aussi le Nigeria, je ne suis rien
(When I am Paris and not Nigeria, I am nothing)

When I am New York and nowhere else, I am nothing

We are the world and always have been because we grew into all of it just the same.  There is no attempt to say 'if I am only Nigeria' because I have not seen anyone doing that.

Mine is really not to criticize anyone but rather ask people to think past hysteria and look to all people and not only the ones, here, there or wherever.  It makes no difference to ISIS so why should we differentiate in our love and our compassion.

Of course you know the answer already.

Ich bin alle das Welt

Je suis tout le monde

I am all the world

Wir sind alle das Welt
