Take a stand lyrics

Her back is aching

From a long day's work

There is so much that she must clean

And her employers

They say not kind words

Although today she turns 13

He has a story that millions of children share

We must come together for there's no time to spare

Now is the time to unite

Take a stand for children's rights

To dream, to learn, to play

To grow in safety day by day

We all must do our part

To give these lives a brand new start

On us their futures depend (depend, depend)

Bring child labor to an end

No, it's time to take a stand

His lungs are burning

From the dust he breathes

In tunnels deep beneath the ground

He doesn't always get the food he needs

But it's the only bet he's found

He has a story that millions of children share

We must come together for there's no time to spare

Now is the time to unite (now, now)

Take a stand for children's rights (children's rights)

To dream, to learn, to play

To grow in safety day by day

We all must do our part (all must do our part)

To give these lives a brand new start

On us their futures depend

Bring child labor to an end

To an end

It's time to take a stand

Take a stand for children everywhere

Take a stand for there's no time to spare

We must intercede and prevent

We must protect the innocents

152 million

That's too many children

Working hard, no golden rule when each of them should be in school

We must support each family in crisis and uncertainty

152 million

That's too many children

Working hard, no golden rule when each of them should be in school

Provide for those in poverty, make school accessible and free

Now is the time to unite (now, now)

Take a stand for children's rights

To dream, to learn, to play

To grow in safety day by day

We all must do our part (do our part)

To give these lives a brand new start

On us their futures depend

Bring child labor to an end

It's time to take a stand

Take a stand
