Berikut lirik lengkapnya...
There comes a time
When we hear the 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 are all a part of God's great big family
And the truth 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
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
Well, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
So their cries for help
Will not be in vain
We can't let them suffer
No, we cannot turn away
Right now they need a helping hand
Nou sé mond la
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
When you're down and out
And there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, let us realize
That a change can only come when we
Stand together as one
We are the world
(We are the children)
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Better 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
We are the world
(We are the children)
We are the children
It's for the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
(So let's start giving)
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
We are the world
(We are the world)
(We are the children)
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we make a better day
Just you and me
Come on now let me hear you
We are the world
(We are the children)
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Let's start giving
There's a choice were making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
We all need somebody that we can lean on
When you wake up look around and see that your dream's gone
When the earth quakes we'll help you make it through the storm
When the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on
We are the world united by love so strong
When the radio isn't on you can hear the songs
A guided light on the dark road you're walking on
A sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
Someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
Someone to help you rebuild after the rubble's gone
We are the world connected by a common bond
Love the whole planet's singing along
We are the world
(We are the world)
We are the children
(We are the children)
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we make a better day
Just you and me
Everyday citizens
Everybody pitching in
Nou sé mond la
Nou sé mond
Nou sé timoun yo
Nou sé timoun yo
You and I
You and I
Uh, 12 days no water
What's your will to live?
We amplified the love we watching multiply
Feeling like the world's end
We can make the world win
Like Katrina, Africa, Indonesia
And now Haiti needs us, they need us, they need us
We are the world
(We are the children)
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Nou sé mond la
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we make a better day
Just you and me
Haiti, Haiti, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
