There comes a time when we heed a certain call

When the world must come together as one

There are people dying

and its time to lend a hand to life

There greatest gift of all



We cant go on pretending day by day

That someone, somewhere will soon make a change

We are all a part of Gods great big family

And the truth, you know,

Love is all we need



Chorus:

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So lets start giving

Theres a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

its 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 we all must lend a helping hand



Chorus:

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So lets start giving

Theres a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

its 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 theres no way we can fall

Let us realize that a change can only come

When we stand together as one



Chorus:

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So lets start giving

Theres a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

its true we'll make a better day

Just you and me
