Stand Up

Is there anybody out there?
Anybody listening?
Are you awake now?
Have I got your attention?
I know you see the pain
But it don't hit the same, no
When it's in your face
You can't look away

We cannot sit here in silence, oh no
When another brother can't breathe
This ain't a call to violence
But we got to bring hate to its knees

Stand up for the love
We gotta come together
Enough is enough
If you don't, well now you know that
Black is beautiful
Say that you'll walk with me

Can we finally talk about this?
Get ready 'cause I'm ready
I understand how
The truth is hard to swallow
Please don't tell me to wait
Can't afford another day, no
We're the human race
Where's the love embrace?

We cannot sit here in silence, oh no
When one of our sisters can't live
This ain't a call to violence
But we've got to change now for peace

Stand up for the love
We gotta come together
Enough is enough
If you don't, well now you know that
Black is beautiful
Say that you'll walk with me

Stand up for the love
We gotta come together
Enough is enough
If you don't, well now you know that
Black is beautiful
Say that you'll walk with me

Stand up for love, stand up up for love
Stand up for love, stand up up for love
Stand up for love, stand up up for love
Stand up for love, stand up up for love
Stand up for love, stand up up for love
Stand up for love, stand up up for love
Stand up for love
