Stand Up for Love (2005 World Children’s Day Anthem)

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 (oh yeah) An end to hopelessness, or giving up, or suffering (yeah) 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, with every minute Another soul is gone? And I believe that in my life I will see (I will see, yeah, yeah) An end to hopelessness (hopelessness) Of giving up (of giving up), of suffering (suffering, yeah, yeah, yeah) If we all stand (stand) together this one time (time) Then no one will get left behind Stand up for life (life) Stand up for love And it all starts right here, and it starts right now One person stand 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 (see, yeah, yes) 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, yeah Stand up for love For love For love
