Stand Up For Love (2005 World Children's Day Anthem) - Radio Edit

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 of every minute another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life I will see (oh yeah)
An end to hopelessness
Of giving up
Of suffering (yeah)

Then we all stand together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
Stand up for life
Stand up for life

I'm inspired and hopeful each and everyday
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 of every minute
Another soul is gone

And I believe that in my life I will see (I will see, yeah yeah)
An end to hopelessness (hopelessness)
Of giving up (giving up)
Of suffering (yeah yeah)

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
And, 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, yeah

Stand up for love, for love
For love
