After the Band-Aid group from the United Kingdom, Bob Geldof decided to write another song that would come together to the people that were dying in Ethiopia. So, he told all the American artists to sing an American song to fight the famine that was happening in Ethiopia.

Lyrics for "We Are the World"

eddieparrilla0911 — 2024-11-05 23:33:26 UTC

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretending day-by-day
That someone, somewhere soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth, you know, love is all we need

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 choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

Oh, send them your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let's start giving
Oh, there's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well let us realize
Oh, that a change can only come
When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are the world (are the world)
We are the children (are the children)
We are the ones who'll make a brighter day
So let's start giving (so let's start giving)
There is a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

Oh, let me hear you!

We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (said we are the children)
We are the ones who'll make a brighter day
So let start giving (so let's start giving)

There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a brighter day
Just you and me, come on now, let me hear you

We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who'll make a brighter day
So let's start giving (so let's start giving)
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me, yeah

We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We are the ones who'll make a brighter day
So let's start giving (so let's start giving)

There's a choice we're making
And we're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

We are the world (one world)
We are the children (our children)
We are the ones who'll make a brighter day
So let's start giving (so let's start giving)

There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

We are the world, we are the world (one world)
We are the children, yes sir (our children)
We are the ones that make a brighter day (one world)
So let's start giving (so let's start giving)

There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me, ooh-hoo!

We are the world (dear God) (one world)
We are the children (our children)
We are the ones that make a brighter day so let's start giving
All right, can you hear what I said? (So let's start giving)
There's a choice we're making, we're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day

Summary of "We Are the World"

eddieparrilla0911 — 2024-11-06 00:46:18 UTC

"We Are the World" is indeed an anthem of solidarity and unity. The song not only raised a tremendous amount of money for famine relief in Ethiopia but also highlighted the power of collaboration. When people set aside their differences to work towards a common goal, they can truly make a significant impact. This song is a testament to that spirit.
