Stand Up For Love

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 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 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
