Thinking ′bout the world looking at the nation

Suicide, genocide... homicide...

Three words come to mindTimes are changing, yeah

No more rumors there are wars going on

Twisted doctors, scientist making clones

Economy got some backs against the wall

People dying for no reason at all

People of God don't even read their Bibles

There′s no faith, no trust in the word

But everybody seems to be quoting scripture

It's just another word they heard

Pastors leaving pulpits 'cause they′re tired

It′s all based on how we feel

Overheard two people speaking the other day

One said that God's not real but-

I′m just one of them ol' people who′s got to hold on

Sometimes I can't see, but I still believe

He′s taking care of me (Oh oh oh)

I'm just one of them ol' people God′s got a hold on

And I believe, I believe, yeah

I believe, I believe, yeah

So I′ll choose to look on the brighter side

In spite, of all the negativity I'm surrounded by

No it ain′t perfect but that's alright

′Cause his hand is on me

And It's keeping me alive

So many disappointments

So much I don′t understand

So much I don't have answers for

That's what makes me trust you more

In a world that′s always changing

Everything′s rearranging

But no matter what's going on

I′ma be standing, I'mma be holding on

Your truth, their truth, my truth

Your god, my God, our view

All I know is one thing nowadays

Is we all need hope, we all need faith

I′m just one of them ol' people who′s got to hold on

Sometimes I can't see, but I still believe

He's taking care of me, yes he is

I′m just one of them ol′ people God's got a hold on

Don′t you let go of me, Lord please

I believe, I believe

I'm just one of them ol′ people who's got to hold on

Sometimes I can′t see, but I still believe

He's taking care of me, yes He is (Oh, oh, oh)

I'm just one of them ol′ people God′s got a hold on

I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe
