Listen to the tape

WE ARE THE WORLD
There comes the 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, somewhere will
soon make a change. We all 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 to make a brighter day, so
let’s start giving. There a choice we’re
making. We’re saving our lives. It’s
true we’ll make a better day just you
and me….
