Stand Up for Love (2005 World Children’s Day Anthem) [Radio Edit]

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]

There are times I find it hard to sleep at night

We are living through such trouble times

And every child that reaches out for someone to hold

For one moment they become my own

[Pre-Chorus: Beyoncé]

And how can I pretend that I don't know what's going on?

When every second and every minute

Another soul is gone

[Chorus: Beyoncé]

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

Stand up for life

Stand up for love

[Verse 2: Kelly]

I'm inspired and hopeful each and every day

That's how I know that things are gonna change

[Pre-Chorus: Kelly]

So how can I pretend that I don't know what's going on?

When every second and every minute

Another soul is gone

[Chorus: Kelly]

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

Stand up for life

Stand up for love

[Bridge: Michelle]

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

[Chorus: Michelle, Beyoncé and Kelly]

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

Stand up for life

Stand up and hear me sing

Stand up for love, for love, for love
