Heal the World

Fix everything everywhere

"Heal the World" is a 1991 song by Michael Jackson that became an anthem for humanitarian causes and global unity.

The phrase now functions as shorthand for idealistic efforts to address large-scale problems—sometimes used earnestly, sometimes with gentle skepticism toward lofty but vague goals: She wants to heal the world but won't return her neighbor's texts.
