There comes a time
When we hear 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
Somewhere will soon
Make a change
We are all part of gods
Great big family
And the truth, you know
Love is all we need

We are the world
We are the children
We are the one's
Who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice
Were making
We're saving
Our own lives
It's true
Well make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart
So they'll 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 one's
Who make a brighter day
So let's start giving

There's a choice
Were making
We're saving
Our own lives
It's true
Well 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 one's
Who make a brighter day
So let's start giving

There's a choice
Were making
Were saving
Our own lives
It's true
Well make a better day
Just you and me

We are the world
We are the children
We are the one's
Who make a brighter day
So let's start giving

There's a choice
Were making
Were saving
Our own lives
It's true
Well make a better day
Just you and me

We are the world
