Lyrics:

[Originally by USA for Africa]

1985: A studio in Hollywood
The biggest names in singing: Lionel, Paul, Kenny, Bruce, Huey, Ray, Tina, Cindy, Kim Carnes, and Michael
Joined together to create a song that saved the world.

Hit it boys!

There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

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 choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

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 that a change can only come
When we stand together as one

We are the world, we are them children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
We are the world, keep Michael Jackson away from your children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
Ones who make a brighter day
Ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
