Standard Tuning
Capo 2
[VERSE 1]
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 can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth
You know love is all we need
[CHORUS]
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
[VERSE 2]
Well, send'em you your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us, by turning stone to bread
And so we all, must lend a helping hand
[CHORUS]
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
[BRIDGE]
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
[CHORUS x3-5]
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
