Voix 1 Voix 2 Voix 1 Voix 2
There comes a time We can't go on
When we heed a certain call Pretending day-by-day
When the world must come That someone, somewhere will
together as one soon make a change
Ou…. There are people dying Ou…. We are all a part of
Ou… And it's time to lend a hand Ou… God's great big family
Ou… to life Ou… And the truth
The greatest gift of all you know, love is all we need

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

CHŒUR SOLISTE
(voix 1 et 2)
Send them your heart
(Silence) So they’ll know that someone cares
And their lives will be
stronger and free
Ou…. As God has shown us
Ou… by turning stone to bread
Ou… So we all
must lend a helping hand

REFRAIN FINAL
(Tutti) It's true we'll make a better day,
just you and me
