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 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

　　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

　　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

　　when you're down and out

　　there seems no hope at all

　　but if you just believe there's no way we can fall

　　let us realize that a change can only come

　　when we stand together as one

　　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

　　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

　　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

　　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
