There is a time when we should heed a certain cause
Cause the world,it seems it's right in this line
Cause there's a chance for taking in needing our own lives
It seems we need nothing at all

I used to feel that I should give away my heart
And it shows that fear of needing them
Then I read the headlines and it said they're dying there
And it shows that we must heed instead

*We are the world,we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
But there's a chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me

Give in your heart and you will see that someone cares
Cause you know that they can feed them all
Then I read the paper and it said that you've been denied
And it shows the second we will call

*Repeat

Now there's a time when we must love them all
And it seems that life, it don't make love at all
But if you'd be there, and I'll love you more and more
It seems in life, I didn't do that

*Repeat
