There comes a time
when we hear a certain call
When the world
must come together as one

There are people dying
and its time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
pretending day by day
That someone, somehow
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
So their cries for help
will not be in vain
We can't let them suffer
no, we cannot tell them to wait
Right now they need
our 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 (x4)

We All Need Somebody
that we can lean on
When you wake up
look around and see that
your dreams gone
When the earthquakes
would help you make it through the storm
When the floor breaks
a magic carpet to stand on
We are the world united
by love so strong
When the radio isn
