When the world must unite as one

There are people dying

Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life

Oh, and it's time to help those in need

The greatest gift of all

There seems no hope at all

There seems to be no hope at all

But if you just believe

There's no way we can fall

There's no way we can fail

Well, well, well, let's realize

Oh that a change can only come

Oh, that change can only come

When we, stand together as one (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Grammar:

There comes a time when we heed a certain call

➔ Subject-verb inversion (There comes a time)

➔ The sentence starts with "There" followed by the verb "comes". This is used to introduce a subject that is mentioned later ("a time"). It adds emphasis or a more formal tone.
When the world must come together as one

➔ Modal verb of obligation (must)

➔ "Must" indicates a strong obligation or necessity. Here, it emphasizes the importance of global unity.
We can't go on pretending day by day

➔ Phrasal verb (go on) + gerund (pretending)

➔ "Go on" means to continue. It's followed by the gerund "pretending" because it functions as the object of the verb phrase.
That someone, somehow will soon make a change

➔ Future Simple (will make)

➔ "Will make" expresses a future action or prediction. In this case, it's a hope or expectation for a change in the future.
We're all a part of God's great big family

➔ Possessive ('s)

➔ "God's" shows possession, indicating that the family belongs to or is associated with God.
There's a choice we're making

➔ Present continuous for future arrangements (we're making)

➔ While it looks like present continuous, "we're making" implies a decision already made and a course of action planned for the future. It suggests a commitment.
As God has shown us, By turning stone to bread

➔ Present Perfect (has shown)

➔ "Has shown" connects a past action with present relevance. It emphasizes the enduring effect of God's act.
But if you just believe, There's no way we can fall

➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 1)

➔ This is a type 1 conditional sentence. "If you believe" (present simple) sets the condition, and "there's no way we can fall" (future possibility with a modal verb) is the likely result.
Oh that a change can only come When we, stand together as one

➔ Subjunctive mood (can only come)

➔ The use of "can" here in the phrase "can only come" implies a possibility or condition that is not certain. It expresses a hope or desire about a future event that depends on a certain condition being met (standing together).
