We Are the World Songtext
von USA for Africa

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, somehow 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


Well, send ′em you your heart
So they 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 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

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, let's realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we, stand together as one (yeah, yeah, yeah)


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 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 (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 (ah, let me here it)

We are the world, 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
