Story Behind The Song
My son Nick and I were jamming one night after watching the news about wars in the mid-east. We just started playing some cool chords and this song emerged.
I think the message is powerful.

Lyrics
Stand Up For Peace written by Keith Taylor and Nick Taylor
Uncontrolled power, fueled by greed
No one considers what the world really needs
There's people struggling just to survive
It feeds the hatred that is well and alive
Chorus
We think we stand for what is good and right
Stand up for what we believe
It's time we really try and understand
It's time to stand up for Peace.
I ask the questions, there's no reply
Still trying to understand the reasons why
With this direction, there's no end in sight
We need more than fighting to get it right
Chorus
We think we stand for what is good and right
Stand up for what we believe
It's time we really try and understand
It's time to stand up for Peace.
They line their pockets, there's blood on the sand
They walk away like they don't give a damn
They show a profit, and other lies
Their is sheltered so they don't hear the cries
Chorus
We think we stand for what is good and right
Stand up for what we believe
It's time we really try and understand
It's time to stand up for Peace.
Repeat
