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

All you need is the will to want it and a 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 sky, high

Any road that you take will get you there

If you only try

So, keep the faith

Don't let nobody take you down

Just keep your eyes on the prize and your feet flat on the ground

Keep the faith, baby, you got

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, makes it right

Makes it, makes it right

Keep the faith

Don't let nobody turn you 'round brother

You got to know when it's good to go to get your dreams up off the ground

Keep the faith, baby, yeah

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're 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

'Gon, 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, yeah

Because it's just a matter of time

Before your confidence will win out

Lift up your mind before your mind gets blown

Somethings 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 you got to keep the faith

Gon' keep it brother

You got to keep the faith

Straighten out yourself and get your mind on track

Dust off your butt and get your self-respect back
