Song Lyrics

There comes a time
When we hear a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
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
And there's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true, we make better days
Just you and me

Show 'em 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 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 day
Just you and me

Oh, when you're down and out
And there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh, let's realize
That a change can only come
When we stand together as one

We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (children, baby)
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving (let's start giving)
There's a choice we're making (there's a choice)
We're saving our own lives
It's true, we make a better day
Just you and me (you and me, Baby)

We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving (whoa)
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 (hey, come on)

We are the world (China)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving (start giving)
There's a choice we're making (there's a choice)
We're saving our own lives (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 world)
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving (let's start giving now)
There's a choice we're making (aah, there's a choice)
We're saving our own lives
It's true, we make a better day
Just you and me (just you and me)

We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving (let's start giving now)
There's a choice we're making (we're making)
We're saving our own lives
It's true, we make a better day
Just you and me
