USA for Africa - We are the World

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 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 saving our own lives
 It's true we'll make a better day just you and me

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 stones 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, well, well let us realize that a change can only come
 When we stand together as one

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 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
