Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
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 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 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.
VERSE 2
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.
BRIDGE
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 let us realize that a change will only come
when we stand together as one, as one!
CODA
Just you and me!
We are the world, we are the children,
the children, the children!
