Met jealous people, prayed, tell it, I wouldn't make it
Keep your head up, because there's always tomorrow
Just let God be your light and He'll make it alright
Don't let go, don't let go
My God, I think I got to say, "Hallelujah"
Don't let go, don't let go
So you wanna know why
Hold on, don't let go, my darlin' don't you know
But opportunity knocked, I had to take it
Just let God be your light and He'll make it alright
Don't let go, don't let go
I thought, I couldn't handle it, uh, I had enough
He's running everything, so I sing, like the family
To the most high keep your head up to the sky
Forgive, forget, the tears and the sorrow
You got the power if you look deep inside
Sounds of Blackness, Salt and Pepa say, "Peace y'all and hold on"
I ain't trippin' over nothin', that's right, I count my blessings
Put the Lord first, be strong, you can't go wrong
Just let God be your light and He'll make it alright
He'll take care of you, now all praises due
I, uh, just get by can't do me nothin' 'cause God is on my side
Studyin' my words, steady tryin' to learn my lesson, yeah
Hold on, don't let go, my darlin' don't you know
Hold on, don't let go, my darlin' don't you know
Lend a helping hand to your sisters and your brothers
You can take the whole world on, now keep it moving
But all praises due to the most high
Just let God be your light and He'll make it alright
Praise the Lord everyday, that's how I get high
All praises due to the most high
Hold on, don't let go, my darlin' don't you know
You got the power if you look deep inside
To the most high keep your head up to the sky
Hold on, don't let go, my darlin' don't you know
Trust God, uh, that's all you gotta do
Do unto others, don't disrespect your mothers
God is with you, so people be strong
Hold on, don't let go, my darlin' don't you know
Don't let go, don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go
Just let God be your light and He'll make it alright
You got the power if you look deep inside
You got the power if you look deep inside
Just let God be your light and He'll make it alright
Love is on the way if you just pray, and hold on
You struggle through your days, workin' then you out
No doubt, oh yeah, listen to this here
He brought me through some hard times, it was mad, rough
Here's to the Man, clap your hands to the song
When you feel the pressure goin' on and you're stressed
You kept me alive when I could have died
Just let God be your light and He'll make it alright
Don't let go, don't let go
Never fake it, 'cause I be down with the King
You got the power if you look deep inside
If He got my back then whom shall I fear
You still loved me, when I never even knew ya'
All praises due to the most high
You got the power if you look deep inside
Your life is in a mess, this is just a test
Knowledge is the key, joy and peace, the essence, true that
If God ain't in charge, that's all it be about
There's madness in this world, check me out, I ain't stressin', word
