Chorus:
Everybody stand up and sing, and say I love you
Stand on up and sing
Everybody stand up and sing, and say I love you
oh yeah

Take this time to open your heart,
Show your feelings right from the start
Now is the time to spread love around,
Show your thanks when you dream love found
That's why I'm saying,

Chorus

Look around at the world, it's so fine,
All these things were made for you and I
If you try a little piece you will see
That it was meant for you, and it was meant for me

Chorus

Live you life and love who you are,
Cause all of us were born to go far
Spread your love around everywhere,
Let somebody know that you care, baby
Some people think that they got it so hard
But all of us were born to be stars
Now's the time to spread love around,
Show your thanks when your dreams are found
And that's why I'm saying,

Chorus

oh, oh, oh, oh, Let it ring
oh, oh, oh, oh, From your heart
oh, oh, oh, oh, Touch somebody's hand,
oh, oh, oh, oh, And say I love you

Look around at the world, it's so fine,
All these things were made for you and I
If you try a little piece you will see
That it was meant for you, and it was meant for me

Chorus
