<center>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 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 goin' take
 You can be a winner
 But you got to keep the faith
 ...Goin' 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, 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
 Don't let 'em get in your way
 You can be better
 But you got to 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
 You got to know
 When it's good to go
 To get your dreams up
 Off the ground
 Keep the faith
 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
 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 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
 
 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
 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
 
 Goin' keep it
 You got to keep the faith
 Yeah keep the faith
 Gon' keep it
 You got to keep the faith
 
 I'll show 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
 If you keep the faith
 
 Straighten out yourself
 And get tour mind on track
 Dust off your butt
 And get your self-respect back
 You've known me long enough
 To know that I don't play
 Take it like you want it
 But you got to keep the faith
 Goin'
 
 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
 Because it's just
 A matter of time
 Before your confidence
 Will win out
 But till that day
 I said you've got to
 Keep the faith...</center>N

Great song, Jason. :) :) Since we are doing favourite verses:
 
 And when you think of trust
 Does it lead you home
 To a place that you
 Only dream of
 When you're all alone :)

Jason,
 
 You never cease to amaze me. This is very inspiring :)
 
 I love it all but my favorite lines are.....
 
 
 "If you call out loud
 Will it get inside
 Through the heart of your surrender
 To your alabis
 And you can say the words
 Like you understand
 But the power's in believing
 So give yourself a chance"
