There is a time when we should heed a certain cause
Cause the world, it seems is right in this line
Cause theres a chance for taking
In needing our own lives
It seems we need nothing at all
I used to feel, I should give away my heart
And it shows that we are needing in there
Then I read the headlines
And it said theyre dying there
And it showed that we was heeding a stand
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
Theres a chance were taking
Were taking our whole lives
Its true, well make a brighter day
Just you and me
Give them your heart
And you will see that someone cares
Cause you know that they cant feed them all
Then I read the paper
And it said that children die
And it shows that soon can we work hard
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets start giving
But theres a chance were taking
Were taking our whole lives
Its true, well make a brighter day
Just you and me
Now theres a time when we must love at all
And it seems that life, it dont make love at all
But everyday and I love you more and more
Its she and I, didnt do it better
We are the world
The world
We are the children
Are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So lets starting giving
