"We Are The World" lyrics

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's gonna make a change
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, is 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

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

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, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe, there's no way we can fall
Well, well, let's realize
That a change can only come
When we stand together as one, 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
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

Say, Mom, Dad
Do you remember when you said
That I could have a thousand dollars
If I finished school?
Well, you know something?
You were right
About finishing school, that is
Only, I was wondering if I could have the money a little sooner
You know, like, now?
Uh, I really love you, Mom
You too, Dad
So how about it?

We are the world
We are the world
We are the world
We are the world
We are the world
We are the world
The entire world
We are the world
We are the world

Yeah, yeah
Woo
We're on the honor roll and the Chariots of Fire
