There comes a time
When we heed certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
It's time to lend a hand
To life, the greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So, let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make better days, just you and me
Show 'em your heart
So, they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us
By turning stones to bread
So, we all must lend a helping hand
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So, let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
Oh, when your down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Oh, let us realize
That a change can only come
When we stand together as one...!
We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (oooh... yeah, baby!)
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So, let's start giving (let's start giving)
There's a choice we're making (there's a choice)
We're saving our own lives (oh)
It's true we make a better day just you and me (you and me...)
We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So, let's start giving (c'mon!)
There's a choice we're making (choice we make)
We're saving our own lives (ooh)
It's true we make a better day just you and me (hey, c'mon!)
We are the world (yah, yeah)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So, let's start giving (let's start giving)
