[Verse 1: Ralph Tresvant, Randy Travis, Céline Dion, Peter Cetera, Bobby Brown, Brenda Russell, Jani Lane, Luther Vandross]
[Ralph Tresvant]
Lonely fear lights up the sky
Can't help but wonder why
[Ralph Tresvant and Randy Travis]
You're so far away
[Céline Dion]
There, you had to take a stand
In someone else's land
Life can be so strange
[Peter Cetera]
I wish we never had to choose
To either win or lose
We could find a way
[Bobby Brown]
We could find a way
[Brenda Russell]
But I won't turn my back again
[Bobby Brown]
Turn my back again
[Brenda Russell]
Your honor I'll defend
[Jani Lane]
So hurry home till then
[Luther Vandross]
(Till then)
[Chorus]
Stand tall, stand proud
Voices that care
Are crying out loud
And when you close
Your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart
How our love burns bright
[Verse 2: Luther Vandross, Garth Brooks, Kathy Mattea, Gunnar and Matthew Nelson, Michael Bolton, Pointer Sisters, Little Richard, Will Smith]
[Luther Vandross]
Hurry home
[Garth Brooks & Kathy Mattea]
I'm not here to justify the cause
Or to count up all the loss
That's all been done before
[Gunnar & Matthew Nelson]
Just can't let you feel alone
When there's so much love at home
We're sending out to you
[Michael Bolton]
All the courage that you've known
The bravery you've shown
Clearly lights the way
[The Pointer Sisters]
We pray
[Little Richard]
To make the future bright
[The Pointer Sisters]
To make the wrong things right
[Will Smith]
Right or wrong
We're all praying you remain strong
That's why we're all here singing along
[Choir]
Hey, hey
[Chorus]
Stand tall, stand proud
Voices that care
Are crying out loud
And when you close
Your eyes tonight
Know in your heart
How our love burns bright
[Verse 3: Bobby Brown, Céline Dion, Luther Vandross]
Voices that care
Are crying out loud
And when you close
Your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart
How our love burns bright
You are the voice
You are the light
Stand tall, stand proud
Voices that care
Are crying out loud
Are crying out loud, ooh
And when you close
Your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart
How our love burns bright
[Chorus]
Stand tall, stand proud
Voices that care
Are crying out loud
And when you close
Your eyes tonight
Feel in your heart
How our love burns bright
[Outro: Warren Wiebe]
You are the voice
And the guiding light
Feel in your heart
How our love burns bright
