Keep holding on
Keep holding on
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Keep holding on
My brothers and sisters
Don't let them draw you out
Maintain composure, in spite of what's going on
Speak the truth or hold your mouth
Hey!
All this talking
Everyone seems to have an answer or a question to state
Then when the tension's sparking
Everyone is quite content to wait, until the danger dissipates
Because the eloquence and intellect mastered by the few
Are really not indicative of what they can do
So rather than be guided by the words of someoneelse
Seek the truth for yourself
And keep holding on
My brothers and sisters
Don't let them draw you out
Maintain composure, in spite of what's going on
Speak the truth or hold your mouth
Egos flaring
Making it impossible for progress
Even when the way is clear
No self defeat preparing
To take away your drive
And leave you crippled barely walking, 'cause of fear
Because the violence and injustice perpetrated by the few
Are highly indicative of what they will do to you
So join the competition for a coffin or a stripe
Or make your own way and choose life
By holding on
My brothers and sisters
Don't let them draw you out
Maintain composure, in spite of what's going on
Speak the truth or hold your mouth
See, when the light is shining
Learn and overstand the way the cycles regulate the course of life
Tune in to natural timing
Forget about the obstacles, focus on the goals you have in sight
Because perspective makes the difference between tragedy
And things meant to provide you with an opportunity
Yes, consciousness will guide you and keep you in the right
Just stay focused on the light.
And keep holding on
My brothers and sisters
Don't let them draw you out
Maintain composure, in spite of what's going on
Whoa ooh, ooh, ooh
Speak the truth or hold your mouth
Keep holding on
Oh, oh, oh
Don't let them draw you out
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
In spite of what's going on, yeah
Speak the truth or hold your mouth
Keep holding on
