We Are the World Lyrics

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 go on pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We're 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

So 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 stones to bread
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
