[Intro: Howard Hewett, WAV3POP]
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo
I hope I don't let go
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo
I’ve been holding on for so, so long
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo
So, so long, ooh
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo
God knows I've been holding on
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo
So, so long, Father, give me strength
[Verse 1: Howard Hewett]
When I turn on the evening news
What I see makes me so blue
People crying and people trying to find
Trying to find another peace of mind
A whole lot of despair
Frustration fills the air now
What are we gonna do?
Can't you hear me crying? Ooh
[Chorus: Howard Hewett, WAV3POP]
I hope I don’t let go
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo
I hope I don't let go, I've been holding on for so long
I've been holding on for so long
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo (So long, so long)
(Ooh) Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo
Lord knows that I've been holding on
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo
Father give me strength
[Verse 2: Howard Hewett]
Ooh, this old world's such a crowded placе
Some would rather just separatе
Children feel we don't give a damn
Can't we just live together cried a desperate man
It’s a long, long winding road
Some may never find their pot of gold
Won’t anybody listen when you hear baby crying? Please
[Outro: Howard Hewett]
(Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo)
To Thee I pray, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo)
To Thee I pray
(Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo)
Father, will we ever learn to live today?
Father, teach us we can learn to love each other
(Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo)
Comes a time in life when you make a stand
Put down your gun and take your brother's hand
(Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, hoo)
After all the pain I know no other way
To Thee I pray (To Thee I pray)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, to Thee I pray (To Thee I pray)
To Thee I pray (To Thee I pray)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, to Thee I pray (To Thee I pray)
(To Thee I pray, to Thee I pray)
Turn your life around (To Thee I pray)
When I fall down (To Thee I pray)
On my knees, ooh
To Thee, Father (Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord)
To Thee I pray, I pray
To Thee I pray, I pray
To Thee I pray, I pray
Father, I pray to You
