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 a giving
There's a choice we're making,
We're saving our own lives,
It's true, we'll make better days
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 stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand.
Repeat 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 will only come
When we stand together as one.
Repeat Chorus
