Lyrics:

There comes a time when we hear a certain call When we hear a sincere call

When the world must come together as one There are people dying Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life It's time to lend a hand

The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day The day's pretense is over

That someone, somehow will soon make a change There is always someone somewhere who has to change themselves

We're all a part of God's great big family we We are all members of God’s family

And the truth - you know love is all we need In fact, all we need is love

We are the world, we are the children We are all one family, we are all God's people

We are the ones who make a brighter day It depends on us to create a better future

So let's start giving We begin to dedicate ourselves

There's a choice we're making We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day We really can create a better tomorrow

Just you and me Just rely on you and me

Well, send them your heart Pass your heart to them

So they know that someone cares Let them know that someone cares about them

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 should all lend a helping hand

We are the world, we are the children We are one family everywhere, we are all the people of God

We are the ones

who make a brighter day It's up to us to create a better future

So let's start giving So, let's start giving ourselves

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day We can really create a better tomorrow

Just you and me

When you're down and out 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 let I want to think it through

That one change can only come

When we stand together as one When we stand together like a family

We are the world and we are one family

We are the childrenWe are all the people of God

We are the ones who make a brighter day It is up to us to create a better future

So let's start giving

There's a choice we're making

We're saving our own lives Saving one's own life

It's true we'll make a better day We can really create a better tomorrow

Just you and me
