(Already in the living room)
(Catarina is teaching Portuguese to Michael and Whitney)
Michael – Portuguese is so difficult.
Catarina – It is difficult but you can do it.
Whitney – I'm trying.
Catarina – Let's get started!
(Catarina was determined to teach Portuguese to her idols)
Catarina - Olá! in Portuguese is: Olá! Como está? In Portuguese it is: Como estás? or Como está?
What are you doing? In Portuguese it is: O que estás a fazer? or What are you doing?
Michael - I made it!
Whitney - I did it too!
(They had music playing)
(Meanwhile Jr calls godfather Michael)
Jr - Where are you?
Michael - In the living room. Why?
Jr - We are outside. Didn't you hear?
Michael - No. We had the music playing. Your mother will open the gates for you in a moment.
(Catarina went to open the gates for Jr and Kassie)
Catarina - Park the car, come in!
Jr - Ok.
(Jr and Kassie park the car and get in)
Jr - I thought you weren't coming here anymore.
Michael - Let's sing, a little bit. What do you want to sing?
Jr - Man In Mirror, Heal The World and They Don't Care About Us.
Michael - Ok. Who will start?
Jr - I will start.
(Jr started singing)
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation aggravation
Everybody, allegation
In the suite on the news
Everybody, dog food
Bang-bang, shock dead
Everybody's gone mad
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Jew me, sweat me
Everybody, do me
Kick me, kike me
Don't you black or white me
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
(Catarina continues)
Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I'm a victim of police brutality, now (Mhhm)
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
Your rapin' me of my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free
Skin head, dead head
Everybody, gone bad
Trepidation speculation
Everybody, allegation
In the suite on the news
Everybody, dog food
Black man, black mail
Throw the brother in jail
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible 'cause you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwin' me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
You know I really do hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But it Roosevelt was livin', he wouldn't let this be, no, no
(Whitney continues)
Skinhead, deadhead
Everybody, gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody, litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
Some things in life they just don't wanna see (Ah)
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no
Skinhead, deadhead (Yeah, yeah)
Everybody's gone bad
Situation, segregation (Woo-hoo)
Everybody, allegation
In the suite on the news
Everybody dog food (Woo-ho)
Kick me, kike me
Don't you wrong or right me
(Now everybody, Whitney, Michael, Jr and Catarina)
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
(Michael starts a man singing in the mirror)
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel so good
It's gonna make a difference
Gonna make everything right
As I, turn on the collar
My favorite winter coat
This wind is blowing in my mind
I see the children in the street
With not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind pretending not to see their needs?
A summer's disrespect
A broken bottle cap
And the soul of one man
They follow each other in the wind you know
Because they have nowhere to go
That's why I want you to know
(Catherine continues)
I've been a victim of a selfish kind of love
It's time for me to realize
That there are some who have no home
Not a nickel to lend
Could it really be me pretending that they're not alone?
(Whitney continues)
'm starting with the man in the mirror (oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways (better change)
No message could've been any clearer
(If you wanna make the world a better place)
(Take a look at yourself and then make the change)
(Jr continues)
You've got to
You've got to move
Come on
Come on
You got to
Stand up, stand up (yeah, make that change)
Stand up
Stand up and lift
Yourself, now
(Man in the mirror)
Gonna make that change come on
(Man in the mirror)
You know it
You know it
You know it
You know
Change
Make that change
(Michael starts a man singing in the mirror)
I'm gonna make a change
For once in my life
It's gonna feel so good
It's gonna make a difference
Gonna make everything right

(Man in the mirror)
You know it
You know it
You know it
You know
Change
Make that change
(Catarina starts singing)
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me, and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
(Jr continues)
And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul?
Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly
Be god's glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
(Whitney ends the song)
You and for me (for a better place)
You and for me (make a better place)
You and for me (make a better place)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we live in)
You and for me (save it for our children)

(Michael sings Ghosts)
There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul upon the bed
There's something in the walls
There's blood up on the stairs
And it's floating through the room
And there's nothing I can see
And I know that that's the truth
Because now it's onto me
(Jr continues)
And who gave you the right to scare my family?
And who gave you the right to scare my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
They put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy
There's a thumpin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody's sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin' and a yawnin'
Where a restless soul is going
I don't understand it
Yeah yeah yeah!
Don't understand it
You just a dog gone
Aw
(Michael continues)
There's a thumpin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody's sitting there

Where a restless soul is going
