There comes a time
when we heed 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're 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
just send'em your heart
so they know that someone cares
And their lives will be
stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning
stone 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
When you're down and out
there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
there's no way we can fall
let's 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
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
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
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
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
It's true we'll make a better day
just you and me
It's true we'll make a better day
just you and me
