All In Your Name

"All In Your Name" is a previously unreleased song by Barry Gibb featuring Michael Jackson, released as a single.

The song was co-written in summer of 2002 by Gibb and Jackson in protest of the U.S. government's plan to invade Iraq in 2003. Gibb first confirmed the song in October, 2005.

Gibb explained: "Michael Jackson and I were the dearest of friends, that's simply what it was. We gravitated towards the same kind of music and we loved collaborating and he was the easiest person to write with. The more we got to know each other the more those ideas entwined and it all came to this song All In Your Name. All in Your Name is in fact the message that Michael wanted to send out to all of his fans all over the world that he did it all for them and for the pure love of music. [...]"

The track, its music video and footage of recording sessions were finally released on Gibb's site on June 25, 2011, 2 years after Jackson's passing.

Now I got a mission
The story unfolds
What the wise men have told you, is already known
That a woman and a man
Should go by the plan
And we find out, how high we can fly

There's just one religion
One family of love
We suffer the children
As God cries above
And the giving, not the taking
With hearts open wide
And it looks like we fall
And it burns like a flame
Any ground that I claim

So what is my life
If I don't believe
There is someone to watch me
Follow my dreams
Take all my chances, like those who dare?
And what of our world
What does it become
When the damage is done?
And you held out, you said no, you stand up

Only God knows
That it’s all in the game
It’s all in Your Name
Carry me to the Gates of Paradise
They're the same
It's all in Your Name

Look to Heaven
An Angel appears
To love and protect us
Through all of our tears
And the gateway to peace
It stands open wide
And it looks like we fall
And it burns like a flame
Any ground that I claim

So what is my life
If I don't believe
There is someone to watch me
Follow my dreams
Take all my chances, like those who dare?
And where is the peace
We're searching for
Under the shadows of war?
Can we hold out, and stand up, and say no?

Only God knows
That it's all in the game (Oh)
It's all in Your Name (Oh yeah)
Follow me to the Gates of Paradise
They're the same
It's all in Your Name

Say the word and I'll be there
To love you, and understand you
Meet the line on, and understand [?]
Will they all know [?] (It's over)
Then we'll all know [?] (It's over)
See? that it's done [?] (And it's all in Your Name)

It's all in the game
It's all in Your Name
Follow me through the Gates of Paradise
They're the same (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

It's all in the game
It's all in Your Name
Follow me through the Gates of Paradise
They're the same
They're the same (yeah-yeah)

It's all in the game
It's all in the game
Follow me through the Gates of Paradise
They're the same
It's all in Your Name
