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.
