Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dyin'
It's time to lend a hand
To life
The greatest gift at all
[Verse 2]
We can't go on
Pretendin' day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all apart of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need
[Verse 3]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin'
And there's a choice we're makin'
We're saving out own lives
It's true, we make better days
Just you and me
[Verse 4]
Show 'em your heart
So they 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
[Verse 5]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin'
There's a choice we're makin'
We're saving out own lives
It's true, we make a better day
Just you and me
[Verse 6]
Oh, when you're down and out and there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe, there's no way we can fall
Let's realize that a change will only come
When we stand together as one
[Verse 7]
We are the world (We are the world)
We are the children (Shine on, baby)
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin' (Let's start givin')
There's a choice we're makin' (There's a choice we're makin')
We're saving out own lives
It's true, we make a better day
Just you and me (Just you and me right now)
[Verse 8]
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 givin'
There's a choice we're makin'
We're saving out own lives
It's true, we make a better day
Just you and me (Hey, come on)
[Verse 9]
We are the world (Shine on)
We are the children (We are the children)
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin' (Let's start givin')
There's a choice we're makin' (There's a choice)
We're saving out own lives (We're saving our own lives)
It's true, we make a better day (It's true)
Just you and me
[Verse 10]
We are the world (We are the world)
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin' (So let's start giving, now)
There's a choice we're makin' (There's a choice)
We're saving out own lives
It's true, we make a better day
Just you and me (Just you and me)
[Verse 11]
We are the world (We are the world)
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start givin' (Let's start givin')
There's a choice we're makin' (We're makin' now)
We're saving out own lives
It's true, we make a better day
Just you and me
