Keep The Faith

If you call out loud

Will it get inside

Through the heart of your surrender

To your alibis

And you can say the words

Like you understand

But the power's in believing

So give yourself a chance

'Cause you can climb the highest mountain

Swim the deepest sea (hee)

All you need is the will to want it

And, uh, little self-esteem

So keep the faith

Don't let nobody turn you 'round

You gotta know when it's good to go

To get your dreams up off the ground

So keep the faith, baby, yeah

Because it's just a matter of time

Before your confidence will win out

Believe in yourself

No matter what it's gon' take

You can be a winner

But you got to keep the faith

Gon' keep it brother

You got it

And when you think of trust

Does it lead you home

To a place that you only dream of

When you're all alone

And you can go by feel

'Stead of circumstance

But the power's in believing

So give yourself a chance

I know that you can

Sail across the water

Float across the skyhigh

Any road that you take will get you there

If you only try

So keep the faith, ow

Don't let nobody take you down, brother

Just keep your eyes on the prize

And your feet flat on the ground

So keep the faith, baby, yea

Because it's just a matter of time

Before your confidence will win out

I told my brother

How to do the thing right

Lift up your head

And show the world you got pride

Go for what you want

Don't let 'em get in your way

You can be a winner

But you got to keep the faith

Gon' keep it brother

You got it

I know that keepin' the faith

Means never givin' up on love

But the power that love has to make it right

Makes it, makes it right!

So keep the faith

Don't let nobody turn you 'round, brother

You gotta know when it's good to go

To get your dreams up off the ground

So keep the faith, baby, yea

Because it's just a matter of time

Before your confidence will win out

Better stand up

And act like you wanna do right

Don't play the fool

For the rest of your life

Work on it brother

And you'll make it someday

Go for what you want

And don't forget the faith

Look at yourself

And what you doin' right now

Stand back a minute

Just to check yourself out

Straighten out your life

And how you're livin' each day

Get yourself together

'Cause you got to keep the faith

(Keep the faith)

Don't let nobody take you down, brother

Just keep your eyes on the prize

(Keep the faith)

And your feet flat on the ground

So keep the faith, baby, yea

Because it's just a matter of time

Before your confidence will win out

Lift up your mind

Before your mind gets blown

Some things in life

You best just leave them alone

Go for what you want

Don't let it get in your way

You can make it happen

But ya got to keep the faith

(Keep the faith)

Gon' keep it brother

You got to keep the faith

Yeah keep the faith

(Keep the faith)

Gon' keep it sister

You got to keep the faith - now, now

(Keep the faith)

I told my brother

How to do the thing right

Lift up your head

And show the world you got pride

(Keep the faith)

Go for what you want

Don't let 'em get in your way

You can be a winner

If you keep the faith

(Keep the faith)

Straighten out yourself

And get your mind on track

Dust off your butt

And get your self-respect back

(Keep the faith)

You've known me long enough

To know that I don't play

Take it like you want it

But you got to keep the faith

(Keep the faith)

Gon' - don't let nobody take you down

Just keep your eyes on the prize

(Keep the faith)

And your feet flat on the ground

So keep the faith, baby, yea

Because it's just a matter of time

Before your confidence will win out

But till that day

I said you've got to keep the faith!
