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, 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 (there's a choice)
We're savin' our own lives
It's true, we'll make a better day, just you and me

Well, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
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 world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving (so let's start giving)

There's a choice we're making (there's a choice)
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 (no hope at all)
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall (no way we can fall)
Oh, let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving (so let's start giving)

There's a choice we're making (there's a choice)
We're savin' 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
