G C D G There comes a time when we heed a certain call C D G When the world must come together as one Em There are people dying D C D And it's time to lend a hand to live, The greatest gift of all G C D G We can't go on pretending day by day C D G That someone, somewhere will soon make a change Em D We are all a part of God's great big family C D And the truth, you know, Love is all we need Chorus: C D G We are the World, we are the children C D G We are the ones who make a brighter day so lets start giving Em D There's a choice we're making, We're saving our own lives C D G It'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 D So we all must lend a helping hand Repeat Chorus: Cm D G When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all Cm D G But if your just believe there's no way we can fall Em D Let us realize that a change can only come C D When we stand together as one Repeat Chorus:
