We are the World

There comes a time
When we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying oh
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 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

Well 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 stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Oh oh oh! Let us realize
Oh 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
