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 An end to hopelessness Of giving up Of suffering
Then we all stand together this one time Then no one will get left behind And stand up for life Stand up and hear me sing Stand up for love
[Kelly] 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 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 for love
[Michelle] And it all starts right here And it starts right now One person stand up 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 [Kelly] Stand up and sing [Michelle] Stand up for love [Beyonce] For love For love
