Sing for Tibet

the event

The plan is to bring together a huge gathering of people for the cause of a free Tibet in San Francisco, US — to tell the world that Tibet is not forgotten.

Venue and Time: Lake Meritt, Oakland, near Fairyland Children's Park, 6pm, Friday, 11.11.11.

At the peak of the gathering, around 6 p.m., everybody will sing the theme song, We are the world by Michael Jackson.

It will be 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.)

from the director

Hello warriors, I hope the event goes well. It may not be a big one like we wish, as we are only in the second year of the event. So the event will be small but it surely will be a meaningful one. Keep the people of Tibet in mind, believe in what you are doing and then sing and you will feel the meaning of it. Tibetans in Tibet need our support and attention, and we have to tell the world in every way we could about the hellish life they are living. All the peace- and freedom-loving people must tell China to resolve the Tibetan issue and give to Tibetans what is rightfully theirs.

I wish I was there to personally organise and lead the event, but due to logistical reasons I was not able to travel. The American embassy in Delhi wouldn't give me a visa anyway! They have been unnecessarily very strict to issue visas to Tibetans lately.

I am so thankful to Tashi Wangchuk for accepting to lead the event there. He is helped by Tsultrim Dorjee. Jhola Techung has been of tremendous help. I also thank all the others for taking the time to participate in the event.

I have decided to do the next Sing for Tibet in McLeod Ganj, India, on 12.12.12.

Cheers,

Lobsang Wangyal

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
