We Are the World 25 for Haiti

There comes a time

When we heed a certain call

When the world must come together as one

There are people dying

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 somehow 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 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

Well, send them your heart

So they'll know that someone cares

So their cries for help

Will not be in vain

We can't let them suffer

No, we cannot turn away

Right now they need a helping hand

Nou sé mond la

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

And there seems no hope at all

But if you just believe

There's no way we can fall

Well, well, well, let us realize

That a change can only come when we

When we stand together as one

We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

Better 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 children

It's for 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

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

Come on now, let me hear you

We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

Choice were making

Saving our own lives

It's true we'll make a better day

Just you and me

We all need somebody that we can lean on

When you wake up look around and see that your dream's gone

When the earth quakes we'll help you make it through the storm

When the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on

We are the world united by love so strong

When the radio isn't on you can hear the songs

A guided light on the dark road you're walking on

A sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone

Someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on

Someone to help you rebuild after the rubble's gone

We are the world connected by a common bond

Love the whole planet's singing along

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

Everyday citizens

Everybody pitching in

Nou sé mond la

Nou sé timoun yo

You and I

You and I

Uh, 12 days no water

What's your will to live?

We amplified the love we watching multiply

Feeling like the world's end

We can make the world win

Like Katrina, Africa, Indonesia

And now Haiti needs us, they need us, they need us

We are the world

We are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let's start giving

Nou sé mond la

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
