We Are the World est une chanson caritative enregistrée par le supergroupe américain USA for Africa en 1985. Elle est écrite par Michael Jackson et Lionel Richie, et coproduite par Quincy Jones et Michael Omartian sur l’album We Are the World. Le single a pour objectif de collecter des fonds pour lutter contre la famine en Éthiopie. L’événement, historique, réunit quelques-uns des artistes les plus célèbres de l’industrie musicale américaine de l’époque, comme Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, Bob Dylan, ou encore Ray Charles.
La chanson sort le 7 mars 1985, comme seul single de l’album et devient un succès commercial international. Il est en tête de plusieurs palmarès de musique à travers le monde et devient le premier single à être récompensé plusieurs fois disque de platine par la RIAA. Cependant, la chanson reçoit un avis mitigé de la part des journalistes, des critiques de musique et du public.
We Are the World reçoit de nombreuses récompenses dont trois Grammy Awards, un American Music Award et un People’s Choice Award. Le single est devenu l’un des plus vendus au monde avec plus de 20 millions d’exemplaires écoulés et a réussi à récolter plus de 63 millions de dollars pour l’aide humanitaire en Afrique et aux États-Unis.
There comes a time when we hear 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 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
Well, 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 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
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 can 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
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 me
