Thinking 'bout the world looking at the nation
Suicide, genocide... homicide...
Three words come to mind
Times 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
