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, somewhere will soon make a change
we are all 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
Oh send'em your heart
so they’ll know that someone cares
that someone, somewhere will soon make a change
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 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
well, well, well, well let's realize that a change can only come
when we stand together as one, whoa whoa whoa
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
