There comes a time
When we heed a certain call

somewhere will soon make a change

God's great big family

Michael Jackson solo
We are the world,
We are the children
We are the ones
Who makes a brighter day
So let's start giving
Diana Ross solo
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
Diana Ross and Michael Jackson duet
It's true we make a better day
Just you and me

Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares

And their lives
Will be stronger and free

By turning stones to bread

Must lend a helping hand

There seems no hope at all

But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall

That a change can only come
