There are times
I find it hard... to sleep at night
We are... living through, such troubled times
And there's a 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, every minute
Another soul is gone

And i believe, that in my life i will see (uh yeah)
An end to hopelessness, a giving up, of suffering (ye!)
If we all stand, together this one time
Then no one will get left behind
Stand up... for life
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, every minute
Another soul is gone

And i believe, that in my life i will see (i'll see, ye-yeah)
An end to hopelessness (hopelessness) a giving up (giving up) of suffering (ye!)
If we all stand (stand) together this one time (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 stands 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, a 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...
