There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, 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, somewhere soon make a change
We‘re 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.

Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

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
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah
