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

We can't go on Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're 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

Oh, 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
And 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
Oh, 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
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come When we stand together as one, yeah

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
