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 live, 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
Chorus:
We are the World, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day so lets 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
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
So we all must lend a helping hand
Repeat Chorus:
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if your just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
Repeat Chorus:
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to live, 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
Chorus:
We are the World, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day so lets 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
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
So we all must lend a helping hand
Repeat Chorus:
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if your just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one
Repeat Chorus:
