Caravan of Love topped the charts when it first hit the R & B airwaves in 1985. Critics have offered, "The United Nations should adopt Caravan of Love as the international hymn for World Peace."
Chris Jasper has generously granted The Peace Project use of Caravan of Love. By donating now, you'll receive this song and join the caravan with thousands worldwide who are supporting Operation Rise.
On September 21st, 2011, The Peace Project distributed 10,000 pairs of crutches to everyone in need in the war-torn country of Sierra Leone, Africa, where some have been crawling on the ground for over ten years due to the lack of crutches. Personal mobility is the first step to sustainable peace. Operation Rise got the people of Sierra Leone on their feet. With each step taken we all RISE UP -- help us change the world.
Are you ready for the time of your life
It's time to stand up and fight
(It's alright) It's alright (It's alright, it's alright)
Hand in hand we'll take a Caravan
To the Motherland
One by one we're gonna stand with the pride
One that can't be denied
(Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up)
From the highest mountain, and valley low
We'll join together, with hearts of gold
Now the children of the World can see
There's a better way for us to be
The place where mankind was born
Is so neglected and torn... torn apart
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the Caravan of love
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
We'll be living in a world of peace
In a day when everyone is free
We'll bring the young and the old
Won't you let your love flow from your heart
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
Now the children of the World can see
There's a better for us to be
The place where mankind was born
Is so neglected and torn... torn apart
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the Caravan of love
Are you ready for the time of your life
(Are you ready, are you ready)
Are you ready for the time of your life
(Are you ready, are you ready)
Come go with me
(Are you ready, are you ready)
Come go with me
(Are you ready, are you ready)
Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Are you ready, are you ready)
Everybody take a stand
Join the Caravan of love (Are you ready, are you ready)
Every woman, every man
Join the Caravan of love (Are you ready, are you ready)
Everybody take a stand
Join the Caravan of love (Are you ready, are you ready)
