WE ARE THE WORLD
E9 A A/B E9
There comes a time, when we hear a certain call
A A/B E9
When the world must come together as one
C#m7
There are people dying
G#m A
And it's time to lend a hand to life
F#m B7
The greatest gift of all
E9 A A/B E
We can't go on pretending day by day
A A/B E A E
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
C#m7 G#m
We are all a part of God's great big family
A F#m A/B
And the truth, you know, Love is all we need
A A/B E9 A E9
We are the World, we are the children
A A/B E9
We are the ones who make a brighter day so lets start giving
C#m7 G#m
There's a choice we're making, We're saving our own lives
A A/B E A E9 A
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
E9 A A/B E9
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
A A/B E9
And their lives will be stronger and free
C#m7 G#m
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
A F#m A/B
So we all must lend a helping hand
A A/B E9 A E9
We are the World, we are the children
A A/B E9
We are the ones who make a brighter day so lets start giving

There's a choice we're making, We're saving our own lives
A A/B E
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me
C D E
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
C D E
But if your just believe there's no way we can fall
C#m7 G#m
Let us realize that a change can only come
A F#m A/B
When we stand together as one
