'What More Can I Give'

This particular song, 'What More Can I Give', was produced by Michael as well as K.C. Porter-but he composed and wrote it by himself. It was made in the year 2001 but wasn't released due to the whole Sony affair (see Sony link). Many, many singers were involved with the making of 'What More Can I Give' including:
Mariah Carey :: Ricky Martin :: Carlos Santana :: Celine Dion :: Tom Petty :: Beyonce Knowles :: Usher :: Julio Iglesias :: Reba McEntire :: Nick Carter :: N*Sync :: Luther Vandross :: Shakira :: Brian McKnight :: Gloria Estefan :: Mya ::  Billy Gilman :: Shawn Stockman ( from Boyz II Men) :: Alejandro Sandz :: Christian Castro :: Olga Tanon :: Anastascia :: Juan Gabriel :: Luis Miguel :: Thalia :: Ziggy Marley :: 3LW :: Gloria Estefan and more!
This song is so meaningful to me and has such a wavering spirit. If you want to know who sings each part let me know. (For some reason I was unable to add them in.) Here are the lyrics:

(Aaah, yeah, yeah, oh, no, no...)

How many people will have to die
Before we will take a stand?

How many children will have to cry,
Before we do all we can?
If sending your love is all you can give
To help one live (hmm hmm)

How many times can we turn our heads
And pretend we cannot see
Healing the wounds of our broken earth
We're one global family
Just sending your prayers
is something you'll feel
Helping one heal

[Chorus]
What have I got that I can give?
(What have I got that I can give? Tell me)
What have I got that I can give?
(Yeah, yeah, uh huh)
To love and to teach you,
To hold and to need you (oh, to need you),
What more can I give? (what more can I give, yah)

Now let's rather lay down our fears
And reach out and make a pact
Show him the love that is in our hearts
Let us bring salvation back;
just sending your love has the power to heal
So let's all give...

[Chorus]
What have I got that I can give?
(It's not allowed to give just a little bit)
What have I got that I can give?
(Everyone should be a part of it)
To love and to teach you,
To hold and to need you,
What more can I give? (ohh)

Say the words
I'll lay me down for you
Just call my name I am your friend
See, then why do they keep teaching us
Such hate and cruelty?
We should give over and over again

What have I got that I can give?
(We should give over and over again!)
What have I got that I can give?
(Oh my God, oh my God) (Oh my Lord)
See, to love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give?

(They think I'm wasting my time, now)

What have I got that I can give?
What have I got that I can give?
(Give you, give to you)
See, to love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give?


What have I got that I can give?
(What More Can I give?)
What have I got that I can give?
(I wanna give to you, give it to you)
See, to love and to teach you
To hold and to need you
What more can I give?
(They think I'm crazy but I'm not, no!)

[2nd Chorus]
What have I got that I can give?
(To give to you, we wanna give to you!)
What have I got that I can give?
To hold and conceal you,
(Oh, no, yeah, yeah, yeah)
To love and to heal you,
What more can I give?
(Give me, give me one time more now)

What have I got that I can give?
(What have I got, what have I, what have I got)
(Say your prayers)
What have I got that I can give?
(Show the world how much you really care)
To love and to teach you
(To love you, teach you)
To hold and to need you
(To hold you, to need you)
(What more?!)
What more can I give?

What have I got that I can give?
(What can I give? Tell me what can I give y-you)
What have I got that I can give?
