There comes a time, when we need 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

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

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 savin gour own lives, it's true
We make better days, just you and me

Well send'em 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

We are the world ...

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

We are the world ...
So please,
Give them something
