(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!
