Lionel Richie solo
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call

When the world
must come together as one
Stevie Wonder solo
There are people dying
Paul Simon solo
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,
somewhere will soon make a change

We are all a part of
God's great big family

And the truth, you know,
Tina Turner and Billy Joel duet
Love is all we need

Chorus:

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


Dionne Warwick solo
Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
Dionne Warwick and Willie Nelson duet
And their lives
Will be stronger and free

As God has shown us
By turning stones to bread

So we all
Must lend a helping hand

Michael Jackson solo
When you're down and out,
There seems no hope at all

But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Cindy Lauper solo
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change can only come
Kim Carnes solo
When we...
Kim Carnes and Huey Lewis duet
...stand together as one
