Lyrics

[Verse 1] If you called out loud, would 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 believin', so give yourself a chance [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause you can climb the highest mountain Swim the deepest sea, hee All you need is the will to want it and a little self-esteem [Chorus] So 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 of the ground, ah Keep the faith, baby, yeah Because it's just a matter of time Before your confidence will win out Believe in yourself, no matter what it's gonna take You can be a winner, but you got to keep the faith [Post-Chorus] Ah, gon' keep it, brother You got it [Verse 2] (Ooh-ooh) And when you think of trust, does it lead you home (Oh, ah-ah) To a place that you only dream of when you're all alone?
