| | | | | We Are the World: Encyclopedia II - Artists United Against Apartheid - The song Van Zandt was interested in writing a song about Sun City to make parallels with the plight of native Americans. Danny Schechter, a journalist who was then working with ABC News' 20/20, suggested turning the song into a different kind of "We Are the World", or as Schechter explains, "a song about change not charity, freedom not famine."[2]

| | | | | We Are the World: Encyclopedia II - We Are the World - Lyrics One of the lines of the lyrics of the song was originally written there's a choice we're taking, we're taking our own lives, but was replaced with there's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives, because it was feared the original phrasing might be considered an invitation or reference to suicide.
