There are times I find it hard to sleep at night
We are living through such troubled times
And every child that reaches out for someone to hold
For one moment they become my own
And how can I pretend that I don't know what's going on?
When every second, and every minute another soul is gone?
And I believe that in my life I will
See an end to hopelessness, of giving
Up, of suffering
If we all stand together this one time
Then no one wil be left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up for love
I'm inspired and hopeful each and everyday
That's how I know that things are gonna change
So how can I pretend that I don't know what's going on?
When every second, with every minute another soul is gone?
And I believe that in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness,
Of giving up, of suffering
If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up for love
And it all starts right here
And it starts right now
One person stands up and the rest will follow
For all the forgotten, for all the unloved
I'm gonna sing this song
And I believe that in my life I will see
an end to hopelessness, of giving
Up, of suffering
If we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up and sing yah
Stand up for love...
