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
