Artist/Band: Whitney Houston
Lyrics for Song: Hold Up the Light
Lyrics for Album: Count on Me/Hold Up the Light [single]



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)
