Stand Up For Love

There are times I find it's 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 will get left behind

Stand up for life
Stand up and hear me sing
Stand Up for love.

I'm inspired and hopeful 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,
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 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, yea!
Stand up for love
For love
