There comes a time when we heed a certain call
C D GWhen the world must come together as one
EmThere are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to live, The greatest gift of all
We can't go on pretending day by day
C D GThat someone, somewhere will soon make a change
Em DWe 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 lets start giving
Em DThere's a choice we're making, We're saving our own lives
C D GIt's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
G C D G
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
C D G
And their lives will be stronger and free
Em D
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
C DSo we all must lend a helping hand
Repeat Chorus:
Cm D GWhen you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
Cm D GBut if your just believe there's no way we can fall
Let us realize that a change can only come
C DWhen we stand together as one
