We Are the World 25 for Haiti

(E)There comes a time when we (A)heed a (B)certain (E)call,

when the (A)world must (B)come together as (E)one.

There are (C#m)people dying, and it's (G#m7)time to lend a hand to life,

the (A)greatest gift of all.

(E)We can't go on

(A)pretending (B)day by (E)day that (A)someone (B)somehow will soon make a (E)change.

We are (C#m)all a part of

God's (G#m7)great big family.

And the (F#m7)truth,

you know (A)love is all we (Bsus)need.

(B)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 (C#m)choice we're making, we're (G#m7)saving our own lives.

It's (F#m7)true we'll make a better (A)day,

just you and (E)me.

(A)Well, (E)send them your heart

so they (A)know that (B)someone (E)cares,

so their (A)cries for (B)help will not be in (E)vain.

We can't (C#m)let them suffer, no,

we (G#m7)cannot turn away.

Right (F#m7)now they (A)need a helping hand.

(B)Nou se mond la, (E)me.

When you're (C)down and out and there (D)seems no hope at all,

but if you (C)just believe, there's (D)no way we can fall.

(E)Well, well, well, well, let us (C#m)realize,

oh, that a (G#m)change can only come

when (A)we stand together as (Bsus)one.

We are the world, (B)we are the children,

we are the ones who make a brighter day,

so let's start giving.

There's a (C#m)choice we're making, we're (G#m7)saving our own lives.

And it's true we'll make a better day,

(A)just you and me.

(F)We are the world, (C)we are the children,

we are the ones who make a brighter day,
