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 Waking up, pretending day by day There's someone, so real, so we make a change We are all a part of, God's great big family And the truth, in all of us, all we need We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make the brighter day So let's start giving There's no choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's to make a better day, just you and me Well 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 the brighter day So let's start giving There's no choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's to 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 nowhere we can fall Where, where, where, where is real life? Oh, this change can only come, when we stand together as one We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make the brighter day So let's start giving There's no choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's to make a better day, just you and me We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make the brighter day So let's start giving There's no choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's to make a better day, just you and me
