    • There comes a time
      When we head 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

      [Chorus]
      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'll 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

      [Chorus]
      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 will only come
      When we stand together as one

      [Chorus]
      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
