C                           F      G       C
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
          F          G               C
When the world must come together as one
           Am
There are people dying
              Em                         F
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand     to life
                     G
The greatest gift of all

C                    F        G      C
We can't go on    pretending day by day
         F          G                      C
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
      Am                      Em
We're all a part of   God's great big family
         F                              G
And the truth  You know love is all we need

            F     G              C
We are the world,   we are the children
           F                         G                  C
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving
            Am                       Em
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives
       F                       G                C
It's true we'll make a better day just you and me

           C                                    F        G       C
Weeeeell, send them you your heart    so they know that someone cares
           F         G                 C
And their lives will be stronger and free
    Am                      Em
As God has shown us     by turning stone to bread
          F                            G
And so we all     must lend a helping hand

            F     G              C
We are the world,   we are the children
           F                         G                  C

             Eb                    F               C
When you're down and out    there seems no hope at all
            Eb                  F              C
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall

                         Am                     Em
Well, well, well, let's realize ohohoh that a change can only come
     F                      G
When we   stand together as one
                  
            F     G              C
We are the world,   we are the children
           F                         G                  C
