[G]There 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 [em]people dying and it's [hm]time to lend a hand to [am]life.
The [C]greatest gift of [D]all.

[G]We can't go on pre[C]tending [D]day by [G]day
that some[C]one, some[D]where will soon make a [G]change. 
We are [em]all a part of God's [hm]great big family and the [am]truth, you know,
[C]love is all we [D]need.

{soc}
We are the [C]world, [D] we are the child[G]ren,
we are the [C]ones to make a brighter [D]day, so let's start [G]giving. 
There's a [em]choice we're making, we're [hm]saving our own lives,
it's [am]true, weŽll make better [D]day, just you and [G]me.
{eoc}

[G]Send them your heart so they'll [C]know that [D]someone [G]cares
and their [C]lives will [D]be stronger and [G]free. 
As [em]God has shown us by [hm]turning stone to bread,
so we [am]all must [C]send a helping [D]hand.

When your [Eb]down and out, there [F]seems no hope at [G]all,
but if you [Eb]just [G]believe there's [F]no way we can [G]fall. 
Let us [em]realize that a [hm]change will only come
when [am]we [C]stand together as [D]one.
