Stand Up (original song) For World Peace...

I don't know why, of all people, God gave this song to me. I couldn't do it justice. I messed up everywhere, go to fast (I really just can't slow down. I tried) and have zero patience. Someone else could have maybe made this song amazing.

I've seen the trash that people dump garbage on the sidewalk. The sidewalk of THEIR city, THEIR HOME. Just thrown on the ground. I read the newspaper. Never does a day pass without someone getting murdered. I see pictures on the internet. Children who look like skeletons with skin. That gets me most... starving people on the other side of the world. While I sit here, with all the food I could ever want in my kitchen, throwing out leftovers every day. I hate it, hate it, I can't stand it!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to fly right now, to Africa, Guatemala, somewhere, anywhere, where I can be of some USE to this world. I asked God what could I do, what should I, little nobody me do!? I asked and asked, and felt like I wanted to do peace corps or volunteering of some sort, but then... God gave me this song. I couldn't get it out of my head. It started pouring out, and I wrote it all down, but... why, why me, of all people to give a song to. I did my best with it, and I don't know what I can expect. Even if it's a "God-given" song, through me, it'll become nothing... ;___;

This is the song God told me to play.
It took a month for me to put it together until it sounded like this, barely acceptable... some lyrics, I feel they still aren't right but I also feel time slipping, passing too fast with no progress...

Please, please listen with an open heart. Please listen past the mistakes that mortal me made, to the core of what God wants to say. I find some of the lyrics a tiny bit unfitting because God gave them to me as His, but He made them so that it's like I'M saying them. I do believe them with all of my heart. Lyrics are a big part of any song I know, but why He had to give ME, LYRICS, I don't know...! I. Can't. SING. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I can't sing God I know I haven't really tried, but I'm afraid to try because what if it's not good enough? That's why I did a messy piano version instead, I'm so sorry. I still think You gave this song to the wrong girl... the key you gave it to me in was too high anyway, I could never sing that high beautifully... all I could do is put the lyrics into annotations... please read them, please...

This is my try at playing God's song, with my stumbling fingers.
Please let it help the world in some way... any way, any tiny way... I don't know how, but... because just like in the lyrics, I can't stand it anymore... this is not how the world is supposed to be, suffering. It has to change. We have to change it, to the way it's supposed to be, the way God wants it to be.

Now I'll stop rambling and let go, and see what may happen.

Stand Up
Original song by Jenny Hughes
Given by God
A song for world peace

How'd it get to this?
Half the world is rich
And the other is poor
Why'd it get to this?
Something's wrong and is
No one doing a thing?

Sitting, completely useless I'm
Crying, simply pathetic I'm
Praying, Heavenly Father please
Tell me how to save Your world

Chorus:
'Cause I can't stand watching their suffering
'Cause I can't live while they're dying like this
And I can't pretend that everything's all right
Don't hurt any longer Lord... we're here

Hunger, poverty
Children starving
Dying one by one
Inside they're like us
Yeah they're one of us
But we all look away

Sitting, completely useless I'm
Crying, simply pathetic I'm
Praying, Heavenly Father please
Tell me how to save Your world

'Cause I can't stand watching their suffering
'Cause I can't live while they're dying like this
And I can't pretend that everything's all right
Don't hurt any longer Lord...

Awaken, awaken
It's time to awaken
Don't be afraid, don't hesitate
He needs us now, it's not too late
No it's not too late

'Cause I can't stand watching their suffering
'Cause I can't live whilel they're dying like this
And I can't pretend that everything's all right
Don't hurt any longer Lord...

Now I stand up with brothers and sisters
As we fight for peace we've got nothing to lose
We will show the world by living for others
Through friendship and love this world... will change

Will... change

[xxTwerp]

I can't believe you came up with this beautiful song. You're really truly amazing and deserve to be discovered.

[mizrallen]

Rejoice in yourself and your ability to hear and share God's message through your talent in writing, composing and playing. If you're saying you messed up on what God told you-it's kind of a mixed message-God creates perfection-You and your song! If you put yourself down-you're putting God down! Be proud of yourself!

[crazy4music]

how did i ever skipped this song??? idk but as you see im like going through your videos listening, listening to all your compositions and originals that i loved. Today of all days, made me feel with so many emotions. This, This, This song, is to amazing, that my heart wimpers a little when i have yet to look at the lyricss

[mizmi1263552]

Wow, this is just wonderful. It sounds eerily similar to another song I've heard. But, this one is far greater! Maybe music can be a way for you to help. There are many ways to help the needy from all over the world. You and I both have the same thoughts. I also have trouble about thinking, "How can I help the world?". Well, hopefully that questions will be answered some day for you and me. (:

[mizmi1263552]

Wow, this is just wonderful.

[Julietta1300]
