《We are the world》

There comes a time when we heed a certain call

When the world must come together as one

There are people dying

Oh, when 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

And 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

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

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
