There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh when 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 somehow 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 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’ll know that someone cares
So there cries for help
We can’t let them suffer
Will not be in vein
No we cannot turn away
Right now they need a helping hand
Nou se mond la
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
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
It’s for the children
We are the ones who make a better 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
Come on now let me hear you!
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 all need somebody that we can lean on
When you wake up look around and see that your dreams gone
When the earth quakes we’ll help you make it through the storm
When the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on
We are the world united by love so strong
When the radio isn’t on you can hear the songs
A guided light on the dark road you’re walking on
A sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
Someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
Someone to help you rebuild after the rubble’s gone
We are the world, connected by a common bond
Love, the whole planet sing it along
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
Everyday citizens
Everybody pitching in
Nou se mond la
Nou se timoun yo
You and I
You and I
Uh, 12 days no water
Wishing will to live
We amplified the love we watching multiply
We can make the world win
Like Katrina, Africa, Indonesia
And now Haiti needs us, they need us, they need us
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
Haiti, Haiti, Ha, Ha, ha, ha, ha
