There comes a time
when we Need 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 make a better days

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

so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a
Change will only come
When we stand together as one

We are the world
