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

And every minute

Another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life

I will see

An end to hopelessness

Or giving up

Or suffering

Then we all stand together this one time

Then no one will get left behind

And stand up for life

Stand up

And here me sing

Stand up

For love

I'm inspired

And hope

For each and everyday

That's how I know that things are going to 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

Or giving up

Or suffering

If we all stand together this one time

Then no one will get left behind

And stand up for life

Stand up

For love

And it all starts right here

And it starts right now

One person stand up man!

And the rest will follow

From the forgotten

And From the Unloved

I'm gonna sing this song,

And I believe

That in my life

I will see

An end to hopelessness

Or giving up

Or suffering

If we all stand together this one time

Then no one will get left behind

And stand up

For life

Stand up

And sing

Stand up

For love
