keep the faith

written and composed by glen ballard, siedan garrett and michael jackson

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 powers 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 uhh, little self-esteem

so keep the faith

dont let nobody turn you round

you gotta know when

its good to go

to get your dreams

up off the ground

keep the faith, baby, yea

because its just

a matter of time

before your confidence

will win out

believe in yourself

no matter what its 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 youre all alone

and you can go by feel

stead of circumstance

but the powers 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

dont 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 its 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

dont let em get in your way

you can be better

but you got to keep the faith

i know that keepin the faith

means never givin up on love

but the power that love has

to make it right

when its good to go

to get your dreams up

off the ground

before your confidence
