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 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 to 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 make better days, just you and me
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,
So we all must lend a helping hand.
We are the world, we are the children,
We are the ones to 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 make better days, just you and me.
When you are down and out, there seems no hope at all,
But if you just believe, there's no way we can fall well, well, well
Let us realize that a change will only come
When we stand together as one.
We are the world, we are the children,
We are the ones to 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 make better days, just you and me.
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones to make a brighter day,
So let's start giving
