Stand Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you surround yourself with negative people
You'll never feel settled in or become equal, no
They'll suppress you of your spirit and rinse you dry of smiles
So reach deep and release your inner child
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
So stand up for the love, love, love
So stand up (Stand up) for the love, love, love
So stand up for the love, love, love
So stand up (Stand up) for the love, love

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause you're as old as you feel you are
And if you don't reach for the moon, you can't fall on the stars
So I live my life like every day is the last, last, last
'Cause you're as old as you feel you are
And if you don't reach for the moon, you can't follow the stars
So I live my life like every day is the last, last, last
So, stand up

[Verse 2]
If you let a frown become your normality, yes
You don't set an example for the youth of our humanity
If you spend every day wishing for the next to come
Aged and lifeless is what, yes, you'll become, yeah
[Chorus]
So stand up for the love, love, love
So stand up (Stand up) for the love, love, love
So stand up for the love, love, love
So stand up (Stand up) for the love, love
Let's go

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause you're as old as you feel you are
And if you don't reach for the moon, you can't fall on the stars
So I live my life like every day is the last, last, last
'Cause you're as old as you feel you are
And if you don't reach for the moon, you can't fall on the stars
So I live my life like every day is the last, last, last
Stand up

[Break]
I live my life like every day is the last

[Bridge]
So ignore the bad and the good will soon come
Don't think second best, be number one
Spread some love
Don't give to receive
Strive to be happy and live to believe
So ignore the bad and the good will soon come
Don't think second best, be number one
Spread some love
Don't give to receive
Strive to be happy, and yeah, live to believe
[Chorus]
So stand up for the love, love, love
So stand up (Stand up) for the love, love, love
So stand up for the love, love, love
So stand up (Stand up) for the love, love

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause you're as old as you feel you are
And if you don't reach for the moon, you can't follow the stars
So I live my life like every day is the last, last, last
(Haha, yeah)
'Cause you're as old as you feel you are, yeah
And if you don't reach for the moon, you can't follow the stars
So I live my life like every day is the last, last, last
'Cause you're as old as you feel you are
And if you don't reach for the moon, you can't follow the stars
So I live my life like every day is the last, last, last

[Outro]
So stand up for the love, love, love
So stand up for the love, love, love, yeah
So stand up

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
