Solution

There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world comes 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
Will soon make a change
We are 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
To make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we are making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me
We’ll 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 stone to bread
And so we all must
Lend a helping hand
We are the world…
We’re down and out
And there seems no hope at all
But, if you just believe
There’s no way we can fall
Oh yes, let’s realize
That change can only come
When we stand together As one
We are the world…
