: We Are The World

TG 
here comes a time when we
C 
 heed a
D 
 certain 
G 
call

When the C 
world must 
D 
come together as 
G 
one

There are Emi 
people dying

And it's D 
time to lend a hand to 
C 
live, The greatest gift of 
D 
all


We can't go on pretending day by day

That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are Emi 
all a part of God's g
D 
reat big family

And the C 
truth, you know, Love is all we 
D 
need


Chorus: 
We are the C 
World
D 
, we are the 
G 
children

We are the C 
ones who make a brighter 
D 
day so lets start 
G 
giving

There's a Emi 
choice we're making, We're 
D 
saving our own lives

It's C 
true we'll make a better 
D 
day, just you and 
G 
me
G C D G 
Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares

And their lives will be stronger and free

As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
So we C 
all must lend a helping 
D 
hand


Repeat Chorus:
When you're Cmi 
down and out, there 
D 
seems no hope at 
G 
all

But if your Cmi 
just believe there's 
D 
no way we can 
G 
fall

Let us Emi 
realize that a 
D 
change can only come

When we C 
stand together as 
D 
one
