We Are The World (song)[]
"We Are The World" was a song written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. Even though the song was written by two people, it was sung by 43 other artists, male and female. The song's music video is 7 minutes and 11 seconds long. A major amount of the song was performed solos sung by artists such as Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, Billy Joel, and Daryl Hall. At the end of the music video, the quote (each line in a row, each row represented by a comma) says "We Are The World, We Are The Children, We Are The Ones Who Make, A Brighter Day, So Let's Start Giving".
