Michael Jackson - We Are The World (demo) Lyrics
Written and Composed by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie There comes a time when we need 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, somehow will 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 ( CHORUS ) 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'em 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 ( REPEAT CHORUS ) 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, let's realize That one change can only come When we stand together as one ( REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE ) ------------------------------------------------------------ There comes a time when we heed a certain call (Lionel Richie) When the world must come together as one (Lionel Richie & Stevie Wonder) There are people dying (Stevie Wonder) Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life (Paul Simon) The greatest gift of all (Paul Simon/Kenny Rogers) We can't go on pretending day by day (Kenny Rogers) That someone, somehow will soon make a change (James Ingram) We're all a part of God's great big family (Tina Turner) And the truth (Billy Joel) You know love is all we need (Tina Turner/Billy Joel) ( CHORUS ) We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving (Michael Jackson) There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Diana Ross) It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Michael Jackson/Diana Ross) Well, send'em your heart so they know that someone cares (Dionne Warwick) And their lives will be stronger and free (Dionne Warwick/Willie Nelson) As God has shown us by turning stone to bread (Willie Nelson) And so we all must lend a helping hand (Al Jurreau) ( REPEAT CHORUS ) We are the world, we are the children (Bruce Springsteen) We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving (Kenny Logins) There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives (Steve Perry) It's true we'll make a better day just you and me (Daryl Hall) When you're down and out there seems no hope at all (Michael Jackson) But if you just believe there's no way we can fall (Huey Lewis) Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come (Cyndi Lauper) When we (Kim Carnes) stand together as one (Kim Carnes/Cyndi Lauper/Huey Lewis) (REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE ) (additional ad-lib vox by Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, James Ingram)
