There is a time
When we should heed a certain call
Cause the world
It seems it’s right in this line
Cause there’s a chance for taking
In needing our own lives
It seems we need nothing at all
I used to feel
That I should give away my heart
And it shows that fear of needing them
Then I read the headlines
And it said they’re dying there
And it shows that we must heed instead
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones
Who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
But there’s a chance we’re taking
We’re taking our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a brighter day
Just you and me
Give in your heart
And you will see that someone cares
Cause you know that
They can feed them all
Then I read the paper
And it said that you’ve been denied
And it shows the second 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
But there’s a chance we’re taking
We’re taking our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a brighter day
Just you and me
No there’s a time
When we must love them all
And it seems that life
It don’t make love at all
But if you’d be there
And I’ll love you more and more
It seems in life
I didn’t do that
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones
Who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
But there’s a chance we’re taking
We’re taking our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a brighter day
Just you and me
