<< Stand Up >>
--- Barclay James Harvest
We used to have a jungle out there
We used to have a people that cared
We neglect this world - how can this be? yeah
No longer can we look the other way
We call upon ourselves the judgement day
The planet's in a state of emergency
We know that a change is gonna come
It's gotta be one for all and all for one - yeah
Stand up, stand up and let your voice be heard
Stand up, stand up, if just a single word
We must appreciate what life's all about
We gotta raise our voices and shout
We need to save our planet if we can
Stand up!
Are we really too blind to see
We can't see the forest for the trees
Tell me can't you hear nature's cry
How can we preserve our dignity
When we let our heritage bleed
We can't let another day go by
We know that a change is gonna come
- yes it is
It's one for all and all for one
Stand up, stand up and let your voice be heard
Stand up, stand up, if just a single word
We must appreciate what life's all about
We gotta raise our voices and shout
We need to save our planet if we can - yeah!
Stand up, stand up and let your voice be heard
Stand up, stand up, if just a single word
Help us conquer the storm
Lead us to a place safe and warm
Every man, every woman lend a hand -
Stand up!
Don't you think that it's time to stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up?
Stand up, stand up and let your voice be heard
Stand up, stand up, if just a single word
We must appreciate what life's all about
We gotta raise our voices and shout
We need to save our planet if we can
Stand up!
Stand up everybody
And let your voice be heard
Stand up all you people -
Help us spread the word [four times]
It's time to look inside your heart
It's time to make a brand new start
So won't you listen when we say
Act now before it's too late
