We are the World?

There comes a time

When we head 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

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 stronger and free

As God has shown us by turning stone 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 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

That a change will 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

What do you think of the We are the World remake? The people involved in this song are so random. Vince Vaughn, really? I love me some Vince Vaughn, trust that. He is an ACTOR. Also...I realize that Wyclef is Haitian and this remake was technically for Haiti relief, but his added vibrato thing that he did is really bizarre to me and throws off the whole song. I will say, however, that regardless of the auto tune (don't get me started on auto tune...if you need it, you shouldn't be recording it!) and the weird picks of people who are representatives of our "world", it still invokes the same feelings that I had when the first one came out. The lyrics, the harmonies, the feelings behind it all. I still love what the song meant and still means. I hope that it lives on and not just for Haiti.
