Lyrics:
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one

There are people dying
Oh, 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 to 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 day
Just you and me

Well, 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
We are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day
So let’s start giving

Oh, there’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true
We 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, let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones to 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 day
Just you and me

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones to 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 day
Just you and me

We are the world
