We Are the World

(E)There comes a time

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

when the (A)world must (B7)come together as (E)one.

There are (C#m)people dying

and it's (G#m)time to lend a hand

to (F#m7)life, the greatest gift of (Bsus)all.

(E)We can't go on

so (A)pretending (B)day by (E)day that (A)someone,

(B7)somewhere will soon make a (E)change.

We are (C#m)all a part of

God's (G#m)great big family

and the (F#m7)truth, you know, love is all we (Bsus)need.

(B)We (E)are the (A)world,

(B)we are the (E)children,

we are the ones (A)to make a brighter (B)day,

so let's start (E)giving.

There's a (C#m)choice we're making,

we're (G#m)saving our own lives.

It's true (F#m7)we make better (A)days,

just you and (E)me.

Send them your heart

so they'll (A)know that (B)someone (E)cares and their (A)lives will (B7)be will stronger and (E)free.

As are (C#m)God has shown us

by (G#m)turning stone to bread,

so we (F#m7)all must know, lend a helping (Bsus)hand.

(B)We (E)are the (A)world,

(B)we are the (E)children,

we are the ones (A)to make a brighter (B)day,

so let's start (E)giving.

There's a (C#m)choice we're making,

we're (G#m)saving our own lives.

It's true (F#m7)we make better (A)days,

just you and (E)me.

(E)When you're (C)down and out,

there (D)seems no hope at (E)all,

but if you (C)just believe,

there's (D)no way we can (E)fall.

Let us (C#m)realize

that a (G#m)change will only come

when (F#m7)we stand together as (Bsus)one.
