[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 powers 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, dont let nobody turn you round
~#**************#~
You got to know when its good to go
~#**************#~
To get your dreams up off of the ground, ah
~#**************#~
Keep the faith, baby, yeah
~#**************#~
Because its just a matter of time
~#**************#~
Before your confidence will win out
~#**************#~
Believe in yourself, no matter what its 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]
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
To a place that you only dream of when youre all alone?
~#**************#~
(Ooh-ooh) And you can go by the feel ‘stead of circumstance
~#**************#~
But the powers in believin, so give yourself a chance
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
I know that you can sail across the water
~#**************#~
Float across the sky, ah
~#**************#~
Any road that you take will get you there
~#**************#~
If youll only try
~#**************#~
