We Are The World

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

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 you 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

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

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

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

Almost unbelievable good - the "modern version" is a very sad comparison in quality and talent. Genius producing by Quincy - the voicematching!

UN DIA COMO HOY 28 DE ENERO

1985: en EE. UU. el grupo de artistas Usa for Africa graban la canción We Are The World, con fines benéficos.

(«We Are the World» (en español: «Somos el mundo») La grabación de la canción se realizó el 28 de enero de 1985 y publicada el 7 de marzo del mismo año por el sello Columbia Records. Los beneficios obtenidos por la canción fueron donados a una campaña humanitaria para intentar acabar con la tremenda hambruna en Etiopía.)

@tdevil101 yeah Freddie had one of the best voices ever, but... USA for Africa. For me Stevie Wonder is the outstanding one in this amazing collection
