Lyrics

Mm-hmm
Everybody's lookin' for a meaning
Everybody's doing their own thing
And nobody's solving the problem
Ain't nobody helping each other
Some people give in to fear
Some people give in to hunger
Some of us live for the future
Hmm, and some of us wonder
Give a little light, give a little love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Give a little hope and a little trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone
People hold on, ooh-hoo
Don't do yourselves wrong
People hold on, ooh, ooh
We've got to be strong, oh
People hold on
Mm, everybody's getting frustrated
Why should we live with this hatred
We're all dancin' on a thin line
But they're makin' out we're having a good time
So who's gonna give us the answer?
Sister and brother
Give a little life, give a little love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
People hold on, ooh, ooh
Don't do yourself wrong
People hold on
(Hold on)
We've got to be strong, mm-hmm
People hold on
People hold on
People hold on
Oh, people hold on
People hold on to it
People hold on
People hold on to it
People hold on
People hold on to it
People hold on
You know you gotta do it
Mm, mm, oh-oh
Mm, oh-oh, ooh
Ooh, yeah-ooh
Give a little light, give a little love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Give a little hope and a little trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone
People hold on
(Hold on)
Don't do yourself wrong (Ooh)
People hold on
We've got to be strong
People hold on
It won't be long
(You know)
People hold on
(Know you will be loved)
We've got to be strong
People hold on
People hold on
People hold on
People hold on
People hold on
People hold on
People hold on
People hold on
Ooh, got, no
We've got to hold on
Ooh
Hold on to it
Hold on to it
Hold on to it
Hold on
