There comes a time
when we hear 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 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
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 were making
Were 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, yeah, yeah, yeah

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 were making
Were 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
