[LYRICS]

Keep holding on my brothers and sisters 
don't let them draw you out
maintain composure in spite of whats going on
speak the truth or hold your mouth

All this talking 
everyone seems to have an answer or a question to state
then when the tension's sparking
everyone is quite content to wait until the danger dissipates
because the eloquence and intellect mastered by the few
are really not indicative of what they can do
so rather than be guided by the words of someone else
seek the truth for yourself... and

Keep holding on my brothers and sisters 
don't let them draw you out
maintain composure in spite of whats going on
speak the truth or hold your mouth

Egos flaring 
making it impossible for progress even when the way is clear
no self defeat preparing 
to take away your drive and leave you crippled barely walking 'cause of fear
because the violence and injustice perpetrated by the few
are highly indicative of what they will do to you
so join the competition for a coffin or a stripe 
or make your own way and choose life... by

Keep holding on my brothers and sisters 
don't let them draw you out
maintain composure in spite of whats going on
speak the truth or hold your mouth 

See when the light is shining 
learn and overstand the way the cycles regulate the course of life
tune in to natural timing
forget about the obstacles focus on the goals you have in sight
because perspective makes the difference between tragedy
and things meant to provide you with an opportunity
yes consciousness will guide you and keep you in the right
just stay focused on the light... and

Keep holding on my brothers and sisters 
don't let them draw you out
maintain composure in spite of whats going on
speak the truth or hold your mouth
