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
 An end to hopelessness or 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 with 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 there 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
