There comes a time when we hear a certain call
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
There comes a time when we need a certain call
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
There's a toy we're making
There's a choice we're making
We are the powder.
We're all a part of...
We are the world, we are the chimneys.
We are the world, we are the children.
We are the world, we're all the chimneys.
We are the world, we are the children.
We are the world
We are the chimneys.
We are the world
We are the children.
We're saving all our lives
We're saving our own lives
When you jump on me
When you just believe
When you're dining out
And there seems no hope at all
When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
When you're downin' out
There's too much goin' on
When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
When you're drownin' out
There's seems no dope at all.
When your down and out
There seems no hope at all.
As God has shown us by turning stones red
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
But when you jump on me
But if you just believe
Look down below
We are the World
So let's not give in.
So let's start giving.
So that's our kitten
So let's start giving
Stand together as what?
Stand together as one
There is a time when we heat a certain core
There is a time when we heal a certain core
There's a chance we're taking
We're taking our own lives
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
There's a choice we're making
We're taking our own lives
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
There's a choice, a vaccine
That's saving our own lives
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
We are the Josephs
We are the children
We are the ones who make a Friday
We are the ones who make a brighter day
We are the ones who make a brighter Dave
So let's start gizzards
We are the ones who make a brigher day
So let's start giving
We are the ones who'd make a fighter gay,
So let's stop living.
We are the ones who make a brighter day,
So let's start giving.
We're on the program
We are the children
When you're dining out, there seems no hope at all
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
When you're dominant
When you're down and out
When you're dull and bored
When you're down and out
When you're turning out
When you're down and out
Where we heal a certain cold
Where we heal a certain core
