Stand Up


Stand up for those in need, for all those who are in pain,

Stand up for all to see, it's time to make a change,

 

Stand up for those who are suffering, for those whose broken hearts grieve,

Stand up for those who are hurting, strive to bring them relief,

 

Stand up against abuse, against every kind of hate,

Stand up so that our world, will become a better place,

 

Stand up against all substances, against drugs of every kind,

Stand up for those affected, in their hearts and in their mind;

 

 

Stand up and lend a hand, Rise up and do your part,

Stand up for the abused and comfort their broken heart,

 

Stand up to make an impact, On every life and soul,

Stand up for the vulnerable and strive to help them grow,

 

Stand up and make a choice, against injustice make your vote,

Stand up so that the sting of hopelessness might be revoked,

 

Stand to end rejection, speak up to end all strife,

Stand up so that all nations will learn to support life,

 

Stand up and fight for justice, Speak up – your voices loud,

Stand up to choose the right, Rise up against the crowd,

 

Stand up to reduce anxiety to bring the numbers low,

Stand up in every community and everywhere you go,

 

Stand up to remove, Every single painful stub,

Stand up to reduce the stigma, It's time to say “Enough,”

 

Stand up to comfort every heart and soothe every sore,

Stand up – put a stop sign, Rise up and say no more!

 

Stand up and be an apologist, Speak up and plead their case,

Stand up for all the innocent, And for all those in dismay,

 

Stand up against discrimination, Speak up against disdain,

Stand up against all bullying, With God there is a way,
