Lyrics of Keep the Faith by Michael Jackson
verse
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
pre-chorus
'Cause you can
Climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest sea
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 gotta know when it's good to go to get your dreams up off the ground
So keep the faith, baby, yeah
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence will win out
hook
Believe in yourself no matter what it's gon' take
You can be a winner but you got to keep the faith
Gon' keep it brother, you got it
verse
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
pre-chorus
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
chorus
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, you got
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence will win out
hook
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 a winner, but you got to keep the faith
Gon' keep it brother, you got it
bridge
I know that keepin' the faith means never givin' up on love
But the power that love has, makes it right
Makes it, makes it right
chorus
Keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you 'round brother
You got to know when it's good to go to get your dreams up off the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yeah
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence will win out
hook
Better stand up and act like you wanna do right
Don't play the fool for the rest of your life
Work on it brother and you'll make it someday
Go for what you want and don't forget the faith
Look at yourself and what you're 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
chorus
'Gon, don't let nobody take you down, brother
Just keep your eyes on the prize and your feet flat on the ground
So, keep the faith, baby, yeah
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence will win out
hook
Lift up your mind before your mind gets blown
Somethings 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 you got to keep the faith
hook
Gon' keep it brother
You got to keep the faith
Yeah, keep the faith
Gon' keep it sister
You got to keep the faith, now, now
hook
I told my brotha 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 with the faith
hook
Straighten out yourself and get your 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, gon'
chorus
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, yeah
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence will win out
But 'til that day
I said you've got to keep the faith
Writer(s): Michael Joe Jackson, Glen Ballard, Siedah Garrett
