We're just ONE day away from the 2014 MTV EMA and we've got another announcement for you! We're thrilled to reveal that fifteen-time Grammy®-winning singer, songwriter and producer Alicia Keys is set to perform on the 2014 MTV EMA!

View the lyrics
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here

Bombs over Baghdad, tryna get somethin' we ain't never had
Let's start with a good Dad, so real but it's so sad
And while we burnin' this incense, we gon' pray for the innocent
'Cause right now it don't make sense, right now it don't make sense

Let's talk about Chi Town, let's talk about Gaza
Let's talk about, let's talk about Israel
'Cause right now it's real
Let's talk about, let's talk Nigeria
In a mass hysteria, yeah
Our souls were brought together
So that we could love each other, brother

We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here

No guns made in Harlem, but yet crime is a problem
He wanna shine, they wanna rob him
Single mother, where they come from?
How we gonna save the nation with no support for education?
'Cause right now it don't make sense
Right now it don't make sense

Let's talk about our part, my heart touch your heart
Let's talk about, let's talk about living
Had enough of dying, not what we all about
Let's do more giving, do more forgiving, yeah
Our souls were brought together
So that we could love each other, sister

We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here

We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here

'Cause we are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here, why we are here
We are here
We are here for all of us
We are here for all of us
That's why we are here
Why we are here

Keys says: "I am crazy excited to perform on the global stage of the EMA, and for my song to be nominated for Best Song with a Message. ‘We Are Here’ is a 21st century peace movement that believes if we all stand together and join our voices we CAN create a kinder world for everyone."
