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, oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life The greatest gift of all [Verse 2] 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: 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 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] 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 When we stand together as one (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) [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 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 We are the world (We are the world) We are the children (We are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (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 (Alright, let me hear you) We are the world (We are the world) We are the children (Said we are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (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 brighter day Just you and me Come on, y'all, let me hear you We are the world (We are the world) We are the children (We are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (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, yeah, yeah We are the world (We are the world) We are the children (We are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (So let's start giving) There's a choice we're making Yeah, we're saving our own lives It's true, we'll make a better day Just you and me (Yeah, yeah, woah-oh, oh-oh) We are the world (We are the world; ooh, ooh-ooh) We are the children (We are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start givin' (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 We are the world (We are the world) We are the children (We are the children; yes, sir) We are the ones that make a brighter day (We are the world) So let's start giving (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, hoo-hoo We are the world (Good God; we are the world) We are the children (We are the children) We are the ones who make a brighter day So let's start giving (So let's start giving) (Alright, did you hear what I said?)
