The 2024 WSD Song of the Year will be a combination of
“We Are The World” and “Imagine.”
WE ARE THE WORLD + IMAGINE
There comes a time
When we heed 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
chorus:
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
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
