 When the world [bad word] together as one
 There are people dying
 And it's time to lend a hand to life
 There 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 [bad word]  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 [bad word] 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 stronger and free
 As God has shown us by turning stones to bread
 So we all must lend a helping hand

 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 [bad word] we'll make a better day
 Just you and me

 When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
 But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
 Let us realize that a change can [bad word] 
 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
 There's a choice we're making
 We're saving our own lives
 It’s [bad word] we'll make a better day
 Just you and me
