There comes a time
When we hear 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, 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 their cries for help
Will not be in vain
We can't let them suffer

No, we cannot tell them to wait
Right now they need
Our 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

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 (x4)

We All Need Somebody

That we can lean on
When you wake up
Look around and see that

Your dreams gone
When the earthquakes
Would 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 this song
I got a light on the dark road
You're walking on

A sign posted to find
The dreams you thought was gone
Someone to help you move
The obstacles you stumbbled on
Someone to help you rebuild

After the rumbles gone
We are the world connected
By a common bond, LOVE
The whole planet singing 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
You say more love,
You say no more
You sensing more,
You sensing more love
You and I, you and I
Twelve days no water

Where's your will to live?
We'll amplify the love
And watch it multiply
Feeling like the world's end
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, Haiti...
