Letra

There comes a time When we heed 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, somewhere 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

Oh, send them your heart So they know that someone cares And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stones 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 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, there seems no hope at all But if you just believe there's no way we can fall Well, well, well, well let us realize Oh, that a change can only come When we stand together as one, yeah, yeah, yeah

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 mee

We are the world (are the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who'll make a brighter day, so let's start giving (so let's start giving) There is a choice we're making We're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

Oh, let me hear you!

We are the world (we are the world) We are the children (said we are the children) We are the ones who'll make a brighter day so let start giving (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 world) We are the children (we are the children) We are the ones who'll make a brighter day so let's start giving (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, yeah

We are the world (we are the world) We are the children (we are the children) We are the ones who'll make a brighter day so let's start giving (so let's start giving)

There's a choice we're making And we're saving our own lives It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me

We are the world (are the world) We are the children (are the children) We are the ones who'll make a brighter day so let's start giving (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 world (are the world) We are the children, yes sir (are the children) We are the ones that make a brighter day so let's start giving (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, ooh-hoo!

Still In Conflict With The World (Part Ten)

Excuse me but I’m still in conflict with the world, especially after visualizing the sequence.  Told not to be mad at the player but be mad at the game when I did the knowledge / peeped this.  Love turned grey, damn! earlier colors we’re bright! maybe it’s from all the smoke and mirrors.  Due to grey area scenarios that are real and no joke? y’all should know what the deal is!

Once again its on, life is a marathon we kept on running! but we’ll have to admit we’re out here in uncharted…
