[Chorus]
Hold up the light
Save the world from darkness
Hold up the light
Won't you please, America?
[Verse 1]
[BeBe Winans]
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, every man
[CeCe Winans]
If we are the light
It's time for us to fight
For what is right
We must work while it is day, oh yeah
Before the fall of night
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]
Hold up the light
Save the world from darkness
Hold up the light
Won't you please, America?
[Verse 2]
[Whitney Houston]
Boys and girls
Can't you see
The kind of friend crack can be
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 2X]
Hold up the light
Save the world from darkness
Hold up the light
Won't you please, America?
Voices crying
Young people dying
Lost, nowhere to run
So I'm asking
Takes sacrificing
Time for us to come
And hold up the, hold up the light
[Chorus (repeat until end)]
Hold up the light
Save the world from darkness
Hold up the light
Won't you please, America?
