Hi, I'm Jamie Foxx.
25 years ago, Quincy Jones gathered an amazing group of artists and musicians to create
We Are The World, written by Michael [F] Jackson and [A] Lionel Richie.
I'm so proud to be able to share a new version of that song
with a video by Academy Award-winning director Paul Higgins.
Two weeks ago, we found ourselves surrounded by a dazzling array of artists of all ages, backgrounds, and genres,
[N] but all of whom share a common commitment to take action to help Haiti rise from the rubble and rebuild.
As artists, we hope that you enjoy the video and join us in this rare simulcast to millions around the world
as we ask you to please do more than just watch.
Reach deep into your hearts and give anything you can as we have for Haiti.
Sa Pase Na Voule.
Whatever you have, no matter how big or how small, it all counts.
Thank you so much, and enjoy the video.

[B] [E]
[A] [B] [E]
[Dbm] Oh, [Abm] when it's time to lend a hand [Gbm] to light
[A] The greatest gift of [B] all
[E] We can't go on pretending day by day
That [A] someone, [B] somehow, will soon [E] make a change
We [Dbm] are all a part of [Abm] the meaning [Gbm] and the truth
[A] You know the love is all [B] we need
We [A] are the world
[B] We are [E] the children
We [A] are the ones who make a brighter [B] day
So let's start [E] giving
There's [Dbm] a choice we're making
[Abm] We're saving our own lives
It's [Gbm] true we'll make a better day
[B] Just you [E] and me
So they know that
[A] So their cries [B] for help will [E] not be in vain
We [Dbm] can't let them suffer
No, [Abm] we cannot turn them away
Right [Gbm] now, [A] they need our help [B] in hand
[A]
[B] [E] We are the children
We are [A] the ones who make a [B] brighter day
So let's [E] start giving
[Dbm] There's a choice we're making
[Abm] [Gbm] It's true we'll make a better day
Just [E] you and me
[C] When you're down and out, [D] there seems no hope [E] at all
[C] But if you just believe, [D] there's no way we can [E] fall
Well, well, well, [Dbm]
[Abm] things can only come
[A] When we stand together [B] as one
[A]
[E] We are the [A] children
We are the ones who make a brighter [B] day
So let's [E] start giving
[Dbm] There's a choice we're making
[Abm] We're saving our own lives
[Gbm] It's true we'll make a better [Gb] day
Just [E] you and me

[Gm] It's true we'll make a better [C] day
Just you [F] and me
That's it
[Db] We all [Eb] need somebody that we can lean [F] on
When you wake up, look around and see that your [Db] dream's gone
When the earth [Eb] quakes, we'll help you make it through the [F] storm
When the floor breaks, a magic carpet to stand [Db] on
We are the world [Eb] united by love so [F] strong
When the radio isn't on, you can hear the [Db] songs
A guiding [Eb] light on the dark road you're walking [F] on
A signpost to find the dreams you [Db] thought was gone
Someone that can [Eb] move the obstacles you stumbled [F] on
Someone that can rebuild after the [Db] rubble's gone
We are the world [Eb] connected by a [F] common bond
Love the whole planet singing along
[N] We are [Bb] the world
We [C] are [F]
[F] the children
[Bb] [C]
[F] [Dm]
[Am]
[G] [C] [F] Everyday citizens, everybody [Bb] pitching in
[C]
[Bb]
[C] [F] Chewing out for 12 days, no water, what's your will to [Dm] live?
We'll amplify the love and watch it [Am] multiply
Feeling like the world's end, we can make the [Gm] world win
Like Katrina, [C] Africa, Indonesia
[F] And now Haiti needs us, they need us, they need [C] us
We are the world
We are [A] the children
