There comes a time
When we hear 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 will soon make
a change
We are all 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
We’ll 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, 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
