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
with every minute
another soul is gone
And I believe that
in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness
Or giving up
Or suffering
Then we all stand
together this one time
Then no one will
get left behind
And stand up for life
Stand up
and hear me sing
Stand up... for love
I'm inspired
and hope for
each and every day
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
and every minute
another soul is gone
And I believe
that in my life
I will see
An end to hopelessness
or giving up
or suffering
If we all stand
together this one time
then no one
will get left behind
And stand up for life
Stand up for love
And it all
starts right here
And it starts right now
One person
stand up, man
And the rest will follow
from the forgotten
and from the unloved
I'm gonna
sing this song
And I believe
that in my life
I will see
An end
to hopelessness
or giving up
or suffering
If we all stand
together this
one time
Then no one will
get left behind
and stand up
for life
Stand up
and sing
Stand up.... for love
For love
For love.....
