[Chorus]
My people, hold on
My people, hold on
My people, hold on
My people, hold on
People!

[Verse 1]
People, the time has come, in this land
When the lion must lay down with the lamb
Brothers and sisters, live side by side
Hold on to love, let its light be your guide

[Chorus]
My people (My people, hold on)
Say it, say it, say it (My people, hold on)
My people (My people, hold on)
Hold on to love, hold on to one another (My people, hold on)

[Verse 2]
The Lord God said, "Love thee one another
Who ever does the will of the Father, is my brother"
The hawk must fall, let the dove fly high
Hold on to love, let its light be your guide

[Chorus]
My people (My people, hold on)
Say it, say it, say it (My people, hold on)
My people (My people, hold on)
My, my, my, my, my, my people (My people, hold on)
My people (My people, hold on)
(My people, hold on)
Let us all stand together (My people, hold on)
(My people, hold on)

My people (My people, hold on)
The time is here today! Hold on (My people, hold on)
My, my, my people (My people, hold on)
Hold on to love, make it stay (My people, hold on)

(My people, hold on)
(My people, hold on)
(My people, hold on)
(My people, hold on)

(My people, hold on)
In peace, let us trust (My people, hold on)
Before we turn to ashes and dust (My people, hold on)
Let us all stand together (My people, hold on)

I realize our hearts are tried (My people, hold on)
I can see the struggle in your eyes (My people, hold on)
My people! (My people, hold on)

(My people, hold on)
(My people, hold on)
Say again, my people, hold on (My people, hold on)
Hey, my people (My people, hold on)
Say it, say it, say it, hold on (My people, hold on)
Hey, hey, my people, yeah, say it (My people, hold on)
Aow, my people (My people, hold on)
The end of the song (My people, hold on)

The time has come
