[Verse 1]
People are in confusion
The world is full of fear
I see conflict all around us
Can anybody out there hear
I hear the people crying
[Chorus]
You know we got to
Stand down so everybody can stand up
You know it's
Time for us to show that
Everybody got to give love
You know we got to
Stand down so everybody can stand up
You know it's
Time for us to show that
Everybody got to give love
[Verse 2]
I see the poor and hungry
I see the pain they bear
Where is the hope they long for
Does anybody out there care
I hear the people crying
[Chorus]
You know we got to
Stand down so everybody can stand up
You know it's
Time for us to show that
Everybody got to give love
You know we got to
Stand down so everybody can stand up
You know it's
Time for us to show that
Everybody got to give love
[Bridge]
Tell me why can't, why can't we find a reason? (I won't say)
Why can't we find one cause? oh yeah
For everyone to come together (save the world)
And give this world a voice
Can't you hear the people crying?
[Chorus]
You know we got to
Stand down so everybody can stand up
You know it's
Time for us to show that
Everybody got to give love
You know we got to
Stand down so everybody can stand up
You know it's
Time for us to show that
Everybody got to give love
You know we got to
Stand down so everybody can stand up
You know it's
Time for us to show that
Everybody got to give love
You know we got to
Stand down so everybody can stand up
You know it's
Time for us to show that
Everybody got to give love
