We are the world
There comes a time when we hear a sertain 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's 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 know that someone cares
So their cries for help will not be in vane
We can't let them suffer noo
we cannot turn away
right now they need a helping hand
no se muet la
we are the children
we are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's star 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 will 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
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 savin' 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 dream's gone
when the earthquakes round up to make it through the storm
when the floor makes 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 gotta a light on the dark road you're walking on
i saw......
to find dreams you're focused on
someone to help you move the obstacles you suffered on,
someone to help you rebuild
