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 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 lives

It's true we make a better day

Just you and me

When you're down and out

Thereseems no hope at all

But if you just belive

There's no way we can fall

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

So let's start giving

We are the world

Keep Michael Jackson away from the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

Ones who make a brighter day

Ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving
