We are the world

                

MI
There comes a time
                LA        SI           MI
when we heed a certain call.
                 LA
When the world
         SI                         MI
must come together as one
                DO#-
There are people dying.
           SOL#-
And it's time to lend a hand
    FA#-  FA#-7/LA             SI4  SI
to life the greatest gift of all.

MI
We cant' go on 
pretending day by day.
That someone, some where 
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,
                     MI
we are the children
                  LA
we are the ones
                                   SI
who make a brighter day
                      MI
so let's start giving.
               DO#-
There's a choice we're making,
         SOL#-
we're saving our own lives,
      FA#-                            FA#-7/LA
it's true we'll make a better day
                      MI
just you and me.

Send them your heart
so they'll know that someone cares.
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.

                      DO
When you're down and out,
          RE                         MI LA MI
there seems no hope at all.
                 DO                            RE
But if you just believe there's no way
             MI
we can fall.


DO#-
Let us realize that
   SOL#-
a change can only come
       FA#-     FA#-/LA
when we we stand
                   SI4 SI
together as one.
