Lyrics
Be strong
Don't let 'em take your passion
Even though your back
May be up against the wall
I need you to hang on
Even though it may sound old-fashioned
Things are slowly getting better
Just keep on standing tall
Don't sit back and let someone else do it
Put your mind and your body into it
'Cause I believe in you
And the things you do, yeah
Stand up
No time for sitting down
I know that we can make things better
Spread the love around
Spread the love around
Be that medicine
Go out in the world and start healing
Let them know just who you are
Make them see you're a shining star
That's what you are
You don't have to prove to anybody
That you're an equal
You demand to be heard
Let your actions speak louder than your words
Follow your dreams
Get just what you deserve
Ooh, I need you to
Stand up
Get on up now
No time for sitting down
I know that we can make things better
Come on, y'all
We can spread the love around
Yes, you need to
Stand up
Come on, people
No time for sitting down
I know, I know, I know
I know that we can make things better
Ooh, yes
We can spread the love around
Spread the love, spread the love around, yeah
Stand up
Stand up right now
Stand up
I'm talking to you and you and you and you
Stand up
Hey, gotta get on up, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Stand up
Stand up, stand up
Stand up
Get on up, yeah
No time for sitting down
I know that we can make things better
Everybody
We should spread the love around
