Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, yeah, you ready, Ce?
I'm ready
How 'bout you, Whitney?
I think so
Why don't we hold up the light?
Okay
[Verse 2]
Hold up the light
Save the world from darkness
Hold up the light
Won't you please, America?
[Verse 3]
It's time for all of us
Who claim, in God we trust
To take a stand, mmm, yeah
To let our voice be heard
Across the nation
To every man, every man
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Voices crying, young people dying
Lost, nowhere to run
So, I'm asking
Take sacrificing
Time for us to come
And hold up the light
[Verse 6]
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?
(Ooh, mmm)
[Verse 7]
Boys and girls (Boys and girls)
Can't you see
The kind of friend crack can be
Do you believe it?
[Verse 8]
I see there's voices crying
Young people dying
Lost, nowhere to run, nowhere to run
So, I'm asking
Take sacrificing
Time for us to come
And hold up the light
[Verse 9]
Hold up the light
(Oh, save the world)
Save the world from darkness (Save it from darkness)
(Can you say it again? Say it)
Hold up the light
Won't you please, America?
(Ooh, let's do it, do it)
[Verse 10]
I said, hold up the light
(The light)
Save the world from darkness
(Hey)
Hold up the light
Won't you please, America?
(Hey)
(Come on, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
(Oh, just a little bit higher)
(You better hold it, you better hold it up)
(Gotta hold it up)
(Oh, yeah)
(Look, this thing is serious)
(Sure is)
[Verse 11]
(Save straight the world)
(Save the world if you let them free)
(Hey, free indeed)
(Better hold up the light)
[Verse 12]
Voices crying, young people dying
Lost, nowhere to run (Nowhere to run)
So, we're asking
Take sacrificing
Time for us to come
And hold up the, hold up the light
[Verse 13]
Hold up the light
(Save the world)
Save the world from darkness
(Oh, yeah)
Hold up the light
(Say won't you, won't you please, America?)
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)
(Sing, I pledge allegiance)
Hold up the light (Better hold up the light for me love)
(To the flag)
Save the world from darkness (I'm gonna hold it up a little higher)
(And the bloodstained better)
Hold up the light (A little higher, higher)
Won't you please, America? (Help yourself)
