1985: WE USED TO SKIP PAST THIS SONG. 2026: TODAY, IT JUST HITS DIFFERENT.

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 Which is 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 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 Send them your heart So they'll know that someone cares And their lives will be brighter Than we ever dreamed of 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 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
