SIMCHA LEINER ft. 1001 Voices - Stand Up For Each Other - Official Music Video
Simcha Leiner is proud to present “Life’s better when your with your brother” a song celebrating the power that each and everyone of us has to stand up to a bully. After reaching out to educators and Mechanchim around the world, Simcha embarked on the monumental task of crisscrossing the country recording over 1000 boys together to form a Chorus of Unity. Each of the children were given a chance to discuss how bullying can affect their friend.
A global anti-bullying initiative is currently being prepped for launch to further establish an ongoing awareness of the power of anti-bullying tactics. So as to have this project reach as many people as possible, a parallel production is in the works featuring girls only.
This project would not be possible without the encouragement and support of my dear friend R’ Shua Ray.
Thank you to R’ Yosef Knopf for always pushing these important projects.
LYRICS:
Why do we push to be apart
Why don’t we be a apart of something—
Something that is so much stronger
Why are we silent in our pain
Why don’t we join to see a change
Something that will bring us closer
Life’s better when you’re with your brother
Let us all stand up for each other
Watch our struggles fade away, let’s create a brighter day...
Now’s the time to come together
We can bridge the gap forever
You and I must pave the way,
Make our world a better place
I know that you’re feeling so alone
But I’ll make your troubles be my own
Picking up those broken pieces
Building you up to find your strength
You can be confident again
See all of the good I’m seein’
