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're all a part of God's great big family
Tonight, love is the greatest gift of all
Chorus:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets 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
Rap) In the land of the promise
I never knew it must be share
But now I agree
We're God's family
We are the world
We are the children
As God as shown us
That the water turns to wine
That the love of my God
Shed to the world
So we all must lend a helping hand (yeah yeah
