Stand Up (There's no Time)
People talkin' about what it is and what it aint
People fightin' about who to love and who to hate
People dying
Children crying
There's no time to sit and wait
People telling themselves what they'd do if they were you
People trying to force a point of view
War and strife
Fear of life
Assassin's bombs and the hidden knife
There's no time to hesitate
There's no time to contemplate
You've got to stand up for what you believe in
You've got to stand up and fight for your mind
People fightin' about who to love and who to hate
People dying
Children crying
There's no time to sit and wait
People telling themselves what they'd do if they were you
People trying to force a point of view
War and strife
Fear of life
Assassin's bombs and the hidden knife
There's no time to hesitate
There's no time to contemplate
You've got to stand up for what you believe in
You've got to stand up and fight for your mind

Thank you Ben Harper (and sometimes The Innocent Criminals) for all the spectacular songs. They're old friends and they've become a part of me.
