CeCe Winans
Hold Up the Light
[Intro: BeBe & CeCe and Whitney Houston]
Alright now. You ready, Ce?
I'm ready!
How about you, Whitney?
I think so
Why don't we hold up the light?
Okay!

[Chorus: BeBe & CeCe and Whitney Houston]
Hold up the light
Save the world from darkness
Hold up the light
Won't you please, America?

[Verse 1: BeBe Winans & CeCe 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
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
[Pre-Chorus: Whitney Houston]
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: BeBe & CeCe and Whitney Houston]
Hold up the light (Hey, save the world)
Save the world from darkness (Darkness, say it again, say)
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

[Pre-Chorus: BeBe Winans & Whitney Houston]
See, there's voices crying
Young people dying
Lost, nowhere to run, nowhere to run
So I'm asking
Takes sacrificing
Time for us to come
And hold up the light
[Chorus: BeBe & CeCe and Whitney Houston]
Hold up the light (Save the world)
Save the world from darkness (Can you say it again? Say)
Hold up the light
Won't you please, America? (Let's do it, let's do it)
Hold up the light
Save the world from darkness (Hey)
Hold up the light
Won't you please, America?

[Bridge: BeBe Winans & Whitney Houston]
Hey
Come on, hey, hey hey hey hey
Oh, just a little bit higher
You better hold it, you better hold it up
Better hold it up
Oh, oh yeah
This thing is serious
Say save the world
Save the world
You better hold up the light

[Pre-Chorus: BeBe & CeCe and Whitney Houston]
Voices crying
Young people dying
Lost, nowhere to run (Nowhere to run)
So I'm asking
Takes sacrificing
Time for us to come
And hold up the, hold up the light, yeah
[Chorus: BeBe & CeCe and Whitney Houston]
Hold up the light
Save the world from darkness (Oh yeah)
Hold up the light (Say won't you please...)
Won't you please, America? (Won't you please, America?)
Hold up the light (Oh yeah, boys and girls, girls and boys)
Save the world from darkness (Men and women)
Hold up the light (Everybody)
Won't you please, America? (That's all)
(Say, I pledge allegiance)
Hold up the light (Better hold up the light, hold it up)
Save the world from darkness (I gotta hold up a little higher)
Hold up the light (A little higher, higher)
Won't you please, America?
Hold up the light
Save the world from darkness
