LYRICS:
Stand up, all you children, for the things that are in your heart
And stand up, all your children, you were right from the very start
Stand up, stand up, don’t you sit right down (x2)
Stand up, all you children, for the things your parents can’t
And stand up, all you children, for the things that others can’t
Stand up, stand up, don’t you sit right down (x2)
Stand up, all you children, for the love that’s in your soul
Stand up, all you children, for the parts that make you whole
Stand up, stand up, don’t you sit right down (x2)
