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

[00:15.89] There are times I find it hard to sleep at night

[00:24.65] We are living through such troubled times

[00:34.14] And every child that reaches out for someone to hold

[00:43.15] For one moment they become my own

[00:00.00] And how can I pretend that I don't know what's going on?

[00:00.00] When every second of every minute another soul is gone

[00:00.00] And I believe that in my life I will see (oh yeah)

[00:00.00] An end to hopelessness

[00:00.00] Of giving up

[00:00.00] Of suffering (yeah)

[00:00.00] Then we all stand together this one time

[00:00.00] Then no one will get left behind

[00:00.00] Stand up for life

[00:00.00] Stand up for life

[00:00.00] I'm inspired and hopeful each and everyday

[00:00.00] That's how I know that things are gonna change

[00:00.00] So how can I pretend that I don't know what's going on?

[00:00.00] When every second of every minute

[00:00.00] Another soul is gone

[00:00.00] And I believe that in my life I will see (I will see, yeah yeah)

[00:00.00] An end to hopelessness (hopelessness)

[00:00.00] Of giving up (giving up)

[00:00.00] Of suffering (yeah yeah)

[00:00.00] If we all stand together this one time

[00:00.00] Then no one will get left behind

[00:00.00] Stand up for life

[00:00.00] Stand up for love

[00:00.00] And it all starts right here

[00:00.00] And it starts right now

[00:00.00] One person stand up

[00:00.00] And, and the rest will follow

[00:00.00] For all the forgotten

[00:00.00] For all the unloved

[00:00.00] I'm gonna sing this song

[00:00.00] And I believe that in my life I will see

[00:00.00] An end to hopelessness

[00:00.00] Of giving up

[00:00.00] Of suffering

[00:00.00] If we all stand together this one time

[00:00.00] Then no one will get left behind

[00:00.00] Stand up for life, stand up and sing, yeah

[00:00.00] Stand up for love, for love

[00:00.00] For love
