Hold Me Down

One time for my people in Atlanta
One time for my people in the H
One time for my people in McAllen
One time for my people everywhere

I woke up in the middle of the night, yeah
Wonderin' what's become of my life now
I'm wide awake but I thought it was a nightmare
I don't know what'll be of my future
But slowly, slowly the rain's goin' away
But only, only 'cuz of all your grace, yeah
For me, for me
It's shining on my face
It's glowing, glowing
The clouds are leaving me
They're going, going far away
Now it's morning, morning, shiny day
No more mourning, mourning, happy face
I got a smile now 'cuz I trust in God now
It's upside down now 'cuz He holds it down now
They're going, going far away
Now it's morning, morning, shiny day
No more mourning, mourning, happy face

I gotta let go, let go, let go
Of everything that's holding me down, down, down
Holding me down, down, down, down
And Lord I know, I know, I know
You're there for me
And holding me down, down, down
Holding me down, down, down, down

I woke up this morning
Told God good morning
Thank you for this beautiful day
There's no more storm and
There's no more mourning
The light is shining down on my face
I held it all for so long (so, so long)
I didn't know what wrong (what was wrong)
I thought that I was so strong (so, so strong)
But I give it all up to God (all to God)
Now my life has been much better
Not goin' back no, no, never
Stayin' for worse or for better
Holdin' it down yeah forever
Tu sabes Dios que te amo
Por eso es que yo te alabo
Tu eres el quien me sostiene
Hoy y mañana y por siempre

I gotta let go, let go, let go
Of everything that's holding me down, down, down
Holding me down, down, down, down
And Lord I know, I know, I know
You're there for me
And holding me down, down, down
Holding me down, down, down, down

Holdin' me down
Holdin' me down
I'm so thankful you're holding me down
You got my back
I hope you stay
Cuz you know what to do, yeah
You're holding me down, yeah yeah
Way deep down, yeah yeah
I used to be lost, yeah yeah
Until you came around, yeah yeah
Now I can't lose, no
I gotta thank you, yeah yeah
For the brighter days
You keep holding me down
Holding me, yeah yeah

I gotta let go, let go, let go
Of everything that's holding me down, down, down
Holding me down, down, down, down
And Lord I know, I know, I know
You're there for me
And holding me down, down, down
Holding me down, down, down, down
