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 see, hee 
All you need is the will to want it 
And uhh, 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 
Keep the faith, baby, yea 
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 fell 
'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, ow 
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, 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 
Didn't let 'em get in your way 
You can be better 
But you gotta keep the faith 
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

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, 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 check yourself out 
Straighten out your life 
And how you're livin' each day 
Get yourself together 
'Cause you got to keep the faith 
Uh, uh, uh

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, 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 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

How to do the hing right

And show the world you got pride 
Go for what you want 
Don't let 'em get in your way

If you keep the faith

Straighten out yourself 
And get your mind on track 
Dust off your butt 
And get your self-respect back

To know that I don't play 
Take it like you want it 
But you got to keep the faith
