Stand Up For Love

There are times
I find it hard to sleep at night
We are living through such troubled times
And there’s a 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, every minute
Another soul is gone

And I believe
That in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness
A 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
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, every minute
Another soul is gone

Now, I believe
That in my life I will see
An end to hopelessness
A 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
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
A 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, yeah
Stand up
For love
For love, for love
