| I remember when daddy used to tell us bedtime stories
|
| As we went to sleep, choosing words that last forever, ooh
|
| And when I’m feeling lost, thinking that I cannot find my way
|
| Those words still come to me while I’m kneeling down to pray
|
| I can hear daddy say, 'Keep the faith and hold on
|
| And don’t let go of the promises in what he said
|
| Troubles don’t last always"
|
| Don’t let go to the mystery of his word
|
| 'Cause joy’s gonna come in the morning
|
| Don’t let go, don’t let go, ooh
|
| I remember times I try to do it all my way
|
| It always seemed to end with me falling on my face, ooh
|
| The long and winding road sometimes turn into a pile of sand
|
| Those words still come to me while I’m kneeling down
|
| Kneeling down to pray
|
| I can feel my daddy say, «Keep the faith and hold on
|
| Don’t let go of the promises in what he said
|
| Troubles don’t last always», ooh
|
| Don’t let go to the mystery of his word
|
| 'Cause joy’s gonna come in the morning
|
| Daddy said, «All the angels are singing in heaven
|
| And I know they can be heard everywhere
|
| Through the trials and tribulations we go through
|
| We can hear them singing everywhere», yeah, everywhere
|
| Singing don’t let go of the promises in what he said
|
| Troubles don’t last always
|
| Don’t let go to the mystery of his word
|
| 'Cause joy’s gonna come in the morning
|
| Don’t let go
|
| (Don't let go)
|
| Daddy said, «Always keep the faith»
|
| (Don't let go)
|
| Faith is the substance of things hoped for
|
| (Don't let go)
|
| Evidence of things not seen
|
| (Don't let go)
|
| Hold on to your dreams
|
| (Don't let go)
|
| He said, 'No one can tear you down'
|
| (Don't let go)
|
| Once ya have the knowledge, boy
|
| (Don't let go)
|
| Don’t let nobody steal ya joy, ooh
|
| (Don't let go)
|
| Don’t cha lean to ya own understanding

| (Don't let go)
|
| Letcha Father directcha path

|
| And you can live
|
| (Don't let go)
|
| My daddy told me
|
| (Don't let go)
|
| Now that your body’s the temple
|
| Spirit the most high, God lives within you, boy
|
| I said," Thank you, father, ooh
|
| Daddy, I won’t let go, you put your love so deep inside of me
|
| And all of my brothers and sisters
|
| I’m so glad you were a grand man
|
| (Don't let go) |
