We Are the World Songtext

von U.S.A. for Africa

There comes a time when we need 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 have a change.
We are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth ya know, love is all we need.

Refr.: We are the world, we are the children.
We are the ones who make a brighter day,
So let's start givin'.
There's a choice we're making, we're savin'our own lives,
It's true we make a better day just you and me.

Send them your heart, so they'll know that someone cares
And their lifes will be stronger and free.
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread,
So we all must send a helping hand.

Refr.: 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 make a better day, just you and me.

When you're down and out, there seems no more at all,
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall, whoa,
Let's realize, that a change can only come,
When we stand together as one.

9x Refrain.
