Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Clap your hands and let's groove
Clap your hands,clap your hands
There comes a time in every life
There comes a day in every mind
Now don't look back,don't look behind

Stand up straight in your own time
Stand up for love,every good man
Stand up for love,and every foolish man
Stand up for love,and all the rich men
Stand up for love,and all the proud men
Stand up for love,stand up for love
Stand up for love,stand up for love
Stand up for love,stand up for love
Stand up for love,stand up for love
Stand up for love

(Stand) Everybody (stand up for love) come on and take my hand
(Stand) Everybody (stand up for love) you know it's time
It's time to make your stand

Clap your hands and let's groove

In case of fear,in case of fire
In case of some kinda earthquake or forest fire
I got my man (I got my man) right in my sights (sight)
He looks to the left,leans to the right
You know I want you to now

Stand up for love,every good man
Stand up for love,and every foolish man
Stand up for love,and every rich man
Stand up for love,and every proud man
Stand up for love,stand up for love
Stand up for love,stand up for love
Stand up for love,stand up for love
Stand up for love,stand up for love
Stand up for love
Stand up for love

Everybody come on and take my hand
I said everybody you know it's time
It's time to make your,time to make your stand
Stand up for love

Die for love (die for love),this is a cry for love (die for love)
Let's fly for love (die for love),gotta die for love (cry for love)

Die for love (die for love),this is a cry for love (I cry for love)
Let's fly for love (die for love),gotta die for love (cry for love)

Stand up for love,stand up for love...
Stand (stand)...
Stand up for love,stand up for love...
