["We are the World" (Digimon Edition)
Written by Michael Jackson & Lionel Richie
Performed by JPN for Digital World (The DigiDestined/Tamers/Frontier Kids/Data Squad/Xros Heart)]
A titlecard appears. "On August 1st, 1999; seven children began a journey. They would discover their strengths, unlock prophesies, learn more about each other, and change the fate of two worlds... forever."
We begin at TV Tokyo Studios in Odaiba, which has a giant recording studio set up. Tai is the first to approach the mic. Others soon follow. If you've seen the original "We are the World" music video, you know how it is.
Tai:
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
Tai/Matt:
When the world must come together as one
Sora:
There are people dying
Izzy:
And it's time to lend a hand to life
Izzy/Joe/Mimi:
The greatest gift of all
02 T.K.:
We can't go on pretending day by day
Ken:
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
02 Kari:
We all are a part of God's great big family
Cody:
And the truth,
Cody/Yolei:
You know, love is all we need
Takato:
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Jeri:
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
Takato/Jeri:
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Zoe:
Send them your heart so they know that someone cares
Takuya:
And their lives will be stronger and free
J.P.:
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
Koji/Koichi:
And so we all must lend a helping hand
Marcus:
We are the world, we are the children
Mikey:
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Christopher:
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
Davis:
When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
02 T.K.:
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
Rika:
Well...well...well
Let us realize that a change can only come
Angie:
When we
Davis/02 T.K./Angie:
stand together as one
Soon, we find every person, child and adult, that was ever partnered with a Digimon. Commander Sampson leads this choir.
All DigiDestined:
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
Yuu:
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
Thomas:
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
All DigiDestined:
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
Keenan:
There choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we make better day
Just you and me
And now we come to the two parts of the song where there's some sort of call and response. This first one is between Tai and Marcus, who both are partnered with Agumon.
Tai:
We are the world
Marcus:
We are the world
Tai:
We are the children
Marcus:
We are the children
Tai:
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Marcus:
So let's start giving
Tai:
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
And now, Davis and Tagiru. Both have dragon-based Digimon, both end up becoming the new goggleheads, and they're both morons who end up saving both worlds!
Davis:
We are the world
Tagiru:
We are the world
Davis:
We are the children
Tagiru:
We are the children
Davis:
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
Tagiru:
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
Yeah, we're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
We go back to the main chorus as we get more shots of the group. Even Kurata and the Bio-Hybrids came, not to mention a lot of Kurata's troops (technically, they were "partnered" with Gizumon).
All DigiDestined:
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
(repeat at least 3x or 4x)
As the song concludes, we see a group picture (a large landscape one, of course) of all the Tamers/DigiDestined of the world.
HAPPY ODAIBA DAY
1999-2014
15 YEARS... AND STILL DIGIVOLVING
