We Are the World

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lionel Richie, Lionel Richie & Stevie Wonder, Stevie Wonder] There comes a time when we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying [Paul Simon, Paul Simon & Kenny Rogers] Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all [Verse 2: Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner] 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 [Billy Joel, Billy Joel & Tina Turner] And the truth, you know Love is all we need [Chorus: Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Both] 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 [Verse 3: Dionne Warwick, Dionne Warwick & Willie Nelson, Willie Nelson, Al Jarreau] Well, 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 And so we all must lend a helping hand [Chorus: Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall] We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving Oh, 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 [Bridge: Michael Jackson, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper] 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 Well, well, well Let us realize, oh, that a change can only come [Kim Carnes, Kim Carnes & Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper] When we stand together as one (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
