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 brigther day
Just you and me
