Stand Up for Love

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 of 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

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 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 of 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 stand 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 Stand up for love For love

For love
