I'm staring out the window, caught inside a dream
Ignorance is blissful, I'm feeling quite serene
Because I choose to ignore the suffering abroad
Doesn't mean it's not happening, it just means I turned it off

But I can't stop all the pain of the lives that are bein' lost
And I pray we refrain from winning at any cost

We need peace right now
We need love somehow
The world is dark from the clouds
So let the sun shine down

Just get up off the ground and take a stand
Take a stand
Take my hand
Just take a stand, yeah
Just get up off the ground and

I'm watchin' on my TV
Listenin' to the radio
Don't like what it is I see
But I cannot let it go

I'm watchin' all the lives we lost
Wondering who's right
I guess it doesn't matter now
'Cause I still can't stop the fight
If I could see a different glance
To do it right, to make a difference
I would lay down my life
Just to give the world one more chance

We need peace right now
We need love somehow
The world is dark from the clouds
So let the sun shine down

Just get up off the ground and...
Take a stand, right now
Take a stand, right now
Take my hand, right now
Just take a stand, now now

Right now
Just take that stand, right now
Get up off that ground right now
Take a stand

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

We need peace right now
We need love somehow
The world is dark from the clouds
So let the sun shine down
Just get up off the ground and...
