We Are the World Songtext
von Michael Jackson

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 will 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 you know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let′s start giving
Oh, 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, yeah

When you′re down and out, there seems no hope at all (hope at all)
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
No, no, no, just realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, oh

We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let′s start giving (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
Everybody sing out loud


We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let′s start giving (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 world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who′ll make a brighter day, so let's start giving (so let's start giving)
There is 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 world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who'll make a brighter day, so let start giving (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, oh
