We are the world and we've done wrong
through the years that we've been around
I sure hope that we stay strong through the problems we bring to ourselves
And when the world begins to fall apart will we give up?
When everyone believes that there's no start, will we give up?
Help me now cause I don't wanna waste another day
(I hope to God we make a change)
If this is hell then we've made it for ourselves, we should hate it
because we've become everything that brought us down, we're going down
So we've got to change our habits, if we don't we won't get to have them
but we can't seem to shake all the temptations that this cruel world has to offer
Help me now cause I don't wanna waste another day
Digging graves that we've made for ourselves
can we put the shovels down or hope God will help us now so
help me now cause I don't wanna waste another day
(I hope to God we make a change)
