Kids United Nouvelle Génération - Take a Stand

Her back is aching from a long day's work
There is so much that she must clean
And her employers will say no kind words
Although today, she turns thirteen

She 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
Bring child labour to an end
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 is 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
Bring child labour to an end

It's time to take a stand
