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 all are a part of God's great big family
  And the truth you know love is all wee 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 stones to bread
  And so we all must lend a helping hand
  
  Chorus
  
  When you're down and out
  There seems no hope at all
  But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
  Let us realize that a change can only come
  When we stand together as one
  
  Chorus
  Chorus
  (Repeat to fade)
