(Matt Black/Lisa Stansfield)

People hold on, ouh ouh, people hold on, ouh ouh
People hold on, ouh ouh, don't do yourself wrong.
People hold on, ouh ouh, we got to be strong. People hold on!

Everybody's looking for a meaning, everybody's doing their own thing.
And nobody's solving the problem, ain't nobody helping each other.
Some people give into fear, some people give into hunger.
Some people live for the future and some of us wonder.
Giving into life, giving into love, maybe there's enough for everyone.
Giving into hope and into trust, maybe there's enough for everyone.

People hold on, ouh ouh, don't do yourself wrong.
People hold on, ouh ouh, we got to be strong.
People hold on, ouh ouh, don't do yourself wrong.
People hold on, hold on, we got to be strong.
People hold on! People hold on!

Everybody's getting frustrated, why should we live with this hatred?
We're all dancing in a thin line, they're making out, we're having good time.
So who's gonna give us the answer? Ouh ouh, sisters & brothers.
So who's gonna give us the answer? Ouh ouh, sisters & brothers.

People hold on, ouh ouh, don't do yourself wrong.
People hold on, ouh ouh, we got to be strong.
People hold on, ouh ouh, don't do yourself wrong.
People hold on, hold on, we got to be strong. People hold on!
