[Intro: Wyclef Jean] L'union fait la force R.I.P Jimmy O From the ashes we shall rise FanFan Young clef to my country of Haiti [Chorus: Wyclef Jean] (Mavado) Hold on, be strong, no matter what your goin through You know it's 'gon be ok (OK!) today Even when the earth quakes [Verse One: Wyclef Jean] Like I said on BET from the hood to the projects to the mansion So you got no excuse stop blamin the recession Go hard, for Haiti send a text on your phone, Y-E-L-E, 501501 Every block, every school, dream initiation So build the world make it a better place Like Michael Jackson we don't wanna see another 9-11 happen Wish I had talked to them teenagers when them RPG's go in Head on with the navy seals I would've told them there's a better way [Chorus: Wyclef Jean] (Mavado) Hold on, be strong, no matter what your goin through You know it's 'gon be ok (OK!) today Even when the earth quakes We gotta hold on, be strong I know that you don't think that I can read your palms But I see the dawn (The dawn) beyond (Beyond!) Beyond I can see the sunlight And if the raaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn!!!! falls down!!!! It ain't nothin but a blessed day today The suuuuuuuuunnnnnnn!!!!! will shiiiiiinnnnnnnnnineeee!!!! After the rain dries!!!!! [Verse Two: Mavado] To all my thugs that's gone, memories live on I guess, see you at the crossroad!!!! So many cry when we die and they wonder if we're in the sky See you at the crossroad!!!! I see you in my dream, that night, that crime scene But don't worry, see you at the crossroad!!!! Remember we still a team and I know you can hear me now See you at the crossroad!!!! [Chorus: Wyclef Jean] (Mavado) Hold on, be strong, no matter what your goin through You know it's 'gon be ok (OK!) today Even when the earth quakes We gotta hold on, be strong I know that you don't think that I can read your palms But I see the dawn (The dawn) beyond (Beyond!) Beyond I can see the sunlight And if the raaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn!!!! falls down!!!! It ain't nothin but a blessed day today The suuuuuuuuunnnnnnn!!!!! will shiiiiiinnnnnnnnnineeee!!!! After the rain dries!!!!! [Bridge: Wyclef Jean] (She wants to know) She wanna know how long I been playin (As long as my mama) As long as my mama she been prayin (She bought me a guitar) She bought me a guitar at eleven She ain't want me be usin Mac 11's (When I said) So when I said daddy was gone 'til November (I knew) I knew that he wouldn't be back in November Cause I could've been the one in the bank with a shank With a pump and a ski mask But my bank is the stage, my 12 gauge a black act [Chorus: Wyclef Jean] (Mavado) Hold on, be strong, no matter what your goin through You know it's 'gon be ok (OK!) today Even when the earth quakes We gotta hold on, be strong I know that you don't think that I can read your palms But I see the dawn (The dawn) beyond (Beyond!) Beyond I can see the sunlight And if the raaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn!!!! falls down!!!! It ain't nothin but a blessed day today The suuuuuuuuunnnnnnn!!!!! will shiiiiiinnnnnnnnnineeee!!!! After the rain dries!!!!! If the raaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn!!!! falls down!!!! It ain't nothin but a blessed day today The suuuuuuuuunnnnnnn!!!!! will shiiiiiinnnnnnnnnineeee!!!!
