there comes a time
when we heed a certain cal
when the world come together
as one
there are people dying
OH!and it's time
to lend a hand to life
the gratest 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 people
we are the ones
to make a brighter day
so lets start giving
there's a choice we are making

we are 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 down and out
and there seems no hope at all
but, if you just believe
there's no way we can fall
oh yes,let's realise
that 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 brighter day

just you and me
