Keep The Faith lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you called out loud

Would 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

Give yourself a chance

Because you can

Climb the highest mountain

Swim the deepest sea, hee

All you need is the will to want it

And a, little self-esteem

[Chorus]

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’n the ground

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 gonna take

You can be a winner

But you got ta keep the faith

Go'n keep it brother

You got it

[Verse 2]

And when ya 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 the 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’ll only try

[Chorus]

So keep the faith

Don't let nobody take you down, brother

Just keep your eyes on the prize

And your feet flat on the ground

Keep the faith, baby, yeah

Because it's just a matter of time

Before your confidence will win out

I told my brother how to do da thing right

Lift up your head and show the world ya got pride

Go for what you want

Don't let 'em get in your way

You can be better

But you got to keep the faith

Go’n keep it brother

You got it

[Bridge]

I know that keepin' the faith

Means never givin' up on love

But the power that love has to make it right

Makes it uh, makes it right

[Chorus]

So 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 is just a matter of time

Before your confidence will win out

[Verse 3]

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 ya 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

Go'n

Don't let nobody take you down, brother

Just keep your eyes on the prize

And your feet flat on the ground

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

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 ta keep the faith

[Bridge]

Go'n keep it brother

You got to keep the faith

Yeah keep the faith

Go'n keep it sister

You got to keep the faith

Now, now

[Verse 4]

I showed my brotha

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

If you keep'a the faith

Straighten out yourself

And get your mind on track

Dust off your butt

And get your self-respect back

You've known me too long

To know that I don't play

Take it like you wanna

But you got to keep the faith

[Chorus]

Go'n

Don't let nobody take you down

Just keep your eyes on the prize

And get your feet back on the ground

Keep the faith, baby, yea

Because it's just a matter of time

Before your confidence will win out

But till that day

I say you've got to keep the faith!
