C
There comes a time
F C
When we hear a certain call
F G C
When the world must come together as one
Am
There are people dying
Em F
It's time to lend a hand to life
F G
The greatest gift of all
C
We can't go on
F C
Pretending day by day
F G C
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
Am
We are all a part of
Em
God's great big family
F G
And the truth, you know love is all we need
[Chorus 1]
F G
We are the world
C
We are the children
F G
We are the ones who make a brighter day
C
So let's start giving
Am
There's a choice we're making
Em
We're saving our own lives
F G
It's true we'll make a better day
C
Just you and me
[Verse 2]
C
Show 'em your heart
F C
So they know that someone cares
F G C
And their lives will be stronger and free
Am
As God has shown us
Em
By turning stones to bread
F G
So we all must lend a helping hand
[Chorus 1]
F G
We are the world

We are the children
F G
We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

Just you and me

Oh, when you're down and out
Bb C
There seems no hope at all
Ab
But if you just believe
Bb C
There's no way we can fall

Oh, let us realize

That a change can only come
F G
When we stand together as one
[Chorus 1]
F G
We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day
