There comes a time,
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And 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, somehow 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 a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart,
So they'll know that someone cares
So there cries for help
Will not be in vein
We can't let them suffer
No we cannot turn away
Right now they need a helping hand

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets 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

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change can only come
When we stand together as one

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Got to 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
We are the world
Its for the children
We are the world
We are the world
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets 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
