[Chorus:]  Hold up the light  Save the world from darkness  Hold up the light  Won't you please America    [Bebe:]  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    [CeCe:]  If we are the light  It's time for all of us to fight  For what is right  We must work while it is day  Before the fall of night    [Whitney:]  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]    [Whitney:]  Boys and girls  Can't you see  The kind of friend  Crack can be    [Bebe:]  Voices crying, young people dying  Lost, nowhere to run    [CeCe:]  So I'm asking, takes sacrificing  Time for us to come and  Hold up the light    [Chorus]
