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'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 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.
Well, 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 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 lets start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we 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 will 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
