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 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

 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, just you and me

 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

 It's true we make better days just you and me
