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 God's great big family

And the truth, you know that 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

And their lives will be stronger and free

As God has shown us, by turning stones to bread.

So that we all must lend a helping hand.

We are the world......

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's realise

That a change can only come

When we stand together as one

We are the world......
