Text: Bebe & Cece Winans. Hold Up The Light.
[Chorus:]
Hold up the light
Save the world from darkness
Hold up the light
Won't you please America
[Bebe:]
It's time for all of us
Who claim in God we trust
To take a stand
Let our voice be heard
Across the nation
To every man
[CeCe:]
If we are the light
It's time for all of us to fight
For what is right
We must work while it is day
Before the fall of night
[Whitney:]
Voices crying, young people dying
Lost, nowhere to run
So I'm asking, takes sacrificing
Time for us to come and
Hold up the light
[Chorus]
[Whitney:]
Boys and girls
Can't you see
The kind of friend
Crack can be
[Bebe:]
Voices crying, young people dying
Lost, nowhere to run
[CeCe:]
So I'm asking, takes sacrificing
Time for us to come and
Hold up the light
[Chorus]
Hold up the light
Save the world from darkness
Hold up the light
Won't you please America
[Bebe:]
It's time for all of us
Who claim in God we trust
To take a stand
Let our voice be heard
Across the nation
To every man
[CeCe:]
If we are the light
It's time for all of us to fight
For what is right
We must work while it is day
Before the fall of night
[Whitney:]
Voices crying, young people dying
Lost, nowhere to run
So I'm asking, takes sacrificing
Time for us to come and
Hold up the light
[Chorus]
[Whitney:]
Boys and girls
Can't you see
The kind of friend
Crack can be
[Bebe:]
Voices crying, young people dying
Lost, nowhere to run
[CeCe:]
So I'm asking, takes sacrificing
Time for us to come and
Hold up the light
[Chorus]
