SOS From The Kids didn’t leave a dry eye in the house after their Britain’s Got Talent audition tonight (May 2).
Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, David Walliams and Simon Cowell were left watery-eyed after the BGT children’s choir performed a self-penned song about saving the planet.
From BGT to helping the NHS
Now, the boys and girls, who are all aged between four and 16, have released a new single for NHS workers.
Written by the 12-year-old Sim Macaulay and his uncle Ollie Baines, Stand As One hopes to raise money to buy frontline workers personal protective equipment to protect them from coronavirus.

“Proceeds of this song will go to NHS Charities Together & Masksfornhsheroes this was written, recorded and filmed (via Zoom) during lockdown.”
Sim added: “[The song] is about saying thank you to them especially.
“Taking care of them by staying home and staying safe at home so that we don’t have to have any injuries and go over there because they don’t have much space.”

What are the lyrics to Stand As One?
We’re a generation trying to be heard
We fight with our voices, we fight with our words
There’s a situation we cannot ignore
Let’s not hurt our planet anymore
It’s a beautiful world that we’re living in
We don’t want to lose one more living thing
It’s a beautiful world but it needs out help
Let’s stand as one, this fight is real
Help us help our planet heal
We’r e generation growing up to learn
Species are endangered never to return
Science on the TV, science in our schools
tells us that we need to change the rules
It’s a beautiful world that we’re living in
We don’t want to lose one more living thing
It’s a beautiful world but it needs our help
Let’s stand as one this fight is real
Help us help our planet heal
Sciene on the TV since in our schools tells us that we need to change the rules
tells us that we need to change the rules
It’s a beautiful world that we’re living in

It’s a beautiful world but it needs our help
Let’s stand as one this fight is real
Help us help our planet heal
Let’s stand as one this fight is real
Help us help our planet heal
It’s a beautiful world that we’re living in
We don’t want to lose one more living thing
Let’s stand as one this fight is real
Help us help our planet heal
Who are SOS From The Kids?
SOS from the Kids are a children’ choir formed by brothers Sim and Noah Macaulay.
Pre-teen Sim wrote the self-titled track SOS From The Kids after watching David Attenborough’s Climate Change – The Facts.
With a little help from his mum Dorry Macaulay, he brought together his brother, cousin Coen Baines and a group of close friends to record the song.
Before long, words soon got out about the group and Sim was inundated with requests from other children to join his group.
In November last year, the choir took to Parliament Square in London to perform at the Global Youth Strike for Climate.
Afterwards, Sir David Attenborough personally wrote a letter to Sim and Noah to thank the brothers.
Britain’s Got Talent is on ITV, Saturdays at 8pm.
