When the world must come together as one
             Dbm
There are people dying
             Abm                     A
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life

The greatest gift of all

That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
Dbm                 Abm
We're all a part of God's great big family

You know love is all we need

We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving
          Dbm                       Abm
There's a choice we're making we're saving our own lives

 A                   B              E
And their lives will be stronger and free
  Dbm                   Abm
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
A                                 B
And so we all must lend a helping hand

It's true we'll make a better day just you and me


              Db                   Eb              E
When you're down and out there seems no hope at all
              Db                    Eb              E
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
                        Dbm             Abm
Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come
     A
When we
                  B
stand together as one
