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
