There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oooo, 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 will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth
you know and 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
Ooooo, 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 stone 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
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
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
It's true, we'll make a better day
We are the world (we are the world)
we are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving (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
It's true, we'll make a better day
just you and me
