Stand Down Lyrics


People are in confusion, oh yeah
The world is full of fear, can't you feel it?
I see conflict all around us
Can anybody out there hear?Hear the people crying
Oh, ay, say, ayYou know we got to stand down
So everybody can stand up
You know it's time for us
To show that everybody got to give loveYou know we got to stand down
So everybody can stand up
You know it's time for us
To show that everybody got to give loveI see the poor and hungry
I see the pain they bear, oh yeah
Where is the hope they long for?
Does anybody out there care?I hear the people crying
Oh, ay, say, ayYou know we got to stand down
So everybody can stand up
You know it's time for us
To show that everybody got to give loveYou know we got to stand down

So everybody can stand up
You know it's time for us
To show that everybody got to give loveTell me, why can't?
Why can't we find a reason
I wanna say
Why can't we find one causeFor everyone to come together
Save the world
And give this world a voiceCan't you hear the people crying?
Oh, ay, say, ayYou know we got to stand down
So everybody can stand up
You know it's time for us
To show that everybody got to give loveYou know we got to stand down
So everybody can stand up
You know it's time for us
To show that everybody got to give loveYou know we got to stand down
So everybody can stand up
You know it's time for us
To show that everybody got to give loveYou know we got to stand down
So everybody can stand up
You know it's time for us

Lionel Brockman Richie, Jr. (born June 20, 1949 in Tuskegee, Alabama) is an American R&B singer, songwriter, composer, and occasional actor. He got his start as the front man for the Commodores, a nationally popular Motown band during the 70's. They had several hits such as Easy, Three Times a Lady, and probably the Commodores' most famous hit, Brick House.

Richie quit the band in 1981 for a solo career. He released his self-titled debut in 1982. The album hit No. 3 on the charts and sold over 4 million copies. His follow up album, Can't Slow Down, sold over twice as many copies and won the Grammy for Album of the Year in '84. His third album, '86's Dancing On The Ceiling spawned such hits as Say You, Say Me, Dancing on the Ceiling, and Se La, but would be the end of his commercial success.

His 90's albums such as Back to Front, Louder Than Words, and Time all failed to achieve the previous decade's commercial success. Some of his recent work, such as the album Renaissance, has returned to his older style, hoping to achieve more success.
