There comes a time when we need a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying And it's time to lend a hand to (1) life The greatest gift of all We can't go on pretending (2) day by day That someone, Somewhere will soon make a change (3) 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 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 Oh 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 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'll make a better day, just you and me When you're down-and-out (4), there seems no hope at all But if you just believe there's no way (5) we can fall Let us realize that a change can only come When we stand together as one 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 （×9）
