There is a time when we should heed a certain call
'Cause the world it seems is writing us a line
'Cause there's a chance for taking in each other's lives
It seems we need nothing at all
I used to feel I should give away my heart
And it shows that we are getting there
Then I read the headlines
And it said they're dying there
And it showed that we were cheating instead
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 chance for taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day just you and me
Give out your heart and you will see that someone cares
'Cause you know that they can't feed them all
Then I read the paper
And it said deep in night
And it shows a certain we will call
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 chance for taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day just you and me
Now there's a time when we must love at all
And it seems that life ain't done ** ** at all
But everything and I love you more than all
It's she and I didn't do it bad
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 chance for taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter 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 chance for taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter 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 chance for taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter 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 chance for taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter 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 chance for taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day just you and me
