Look at us, we're standing
You are alive, we survive
Life is cruel, for some so beautiful
We have nothing or very little but your heart can
Avoiding our last breath
You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, we're standing
You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, we're standing
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up, don't kneel
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up, don't kneel
Without you we are nothing, nothing but less than nothing
And nothing beats the outstretched hand, outstretched early in the morning
There is so much love for us hidden in a 'hello'
There is so much hope for us hidden in a 'good evening'
You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, we're standing
You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, we're standing
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up, don't kneel
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up, don't kneel
Become children again, amazed at every moment
Each encounter grows us and changes our lives
We can surprise you, we have so much to teach you
We all have hidden talents
We really want to show them to you
Be also actors of our happiness
Actors in society like you, on an equal footing
Your heart is the solution, make the right resolution
With your good care and yes
We will go far, very far
You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, we're standing
You who pass by, stop and look
Look at us, forever standing
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up, don't kneel
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Stand up, stand up, stand up, don't kneel
