Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There comes a time when we heed a certain call

When the world must come together as one

There are people dying

Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life, the greatest gift of all

[Verse 2]

We can't go on pretending day by day

That someone, somewhere will soon make a change

We all are a part 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 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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

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 (Yeah)

[Verse 6]

Yeah, 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, oh, that a change can only come

When we stand together as one

[Verse 7]

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 (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

[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 giving (Giving)

There's a choice we're making (Ooh)

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day

Just you and me (Whoa)

[Verse 9]

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

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

[Verse 10]

We are the world (We are the world), we are the children (Woo)

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving (Let's start giving)

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives (We're saving our own lives, babe)

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me (You and me, yeah)

It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
