A 56-year-old couple in Detroit, Michigan sang a ballad called Keep the Faith by Michael Jackson. They wanted to sing a song about accepting your mistakes by overcoming any obstacle and having a clear understanding of the world around you.
"Keep The Faith"
If you call out loud
Will it get inside
Through the heart of your surrender
To your alibis
And you can say the words
Like you understand
But the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance
'Cause you can
Climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest sea, e-e-e
All you need is the will to want it
And uh, little self-esteem
So keep the faith
Don't let anybody turn you 'round
You gotta know when it's good to go
To get your dreams up off the ground
So keep the faith, baby, yeah
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence will win out
Believe in yourself
No matter what it's gon' take
You can be a winner
But you got to keep the faith
...gon' keep it brother
You got it
And when you think of trust
Does it lead you home
To a place that you only dream of
When you're all alone
And you can go by the feel
'Stead of circumstance
But the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance
I know that you can sail across the water
Float across the sky, high
Any road that you take
Will get you there
If you only try
So keep the faith, ow
Don't let anybody take you down, brother
Just keep your eyes on the prize
And your feet flat on the ground
So keep the faith, baby, yeah
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence will win out
I told my brother how to do the thing right
Lift up your head and show the world you got pride
Go for what you want
Don't let 'em get in your way
You can be a winner
But you got to keep the faith
Gon' keep it, brother
You got it
I know that keepin' the faith
Means never givin' up on love
But the power that love has makes it right
Makes it makes it right
So keep the faith
Don't let anybody turn you 'round brother
You got to know when it's good to go
To get your dreams up off the ground
So keep the faith baby, yeah
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence will win out
Better stand up and act like you wanna do right
Don't play the fool for the rest of your life
Work on it brother and you'll make it someday
Go for what you want
And don't forget the faith
Look at yourself
And what you're doin' right now
Stand back a minute
Just to check yourself out
Straighten out your life
And how you're livin' each day
Get yourself together
'Cause you got to keep the faith
Don't let anybody take you down, brother
Just keep your eyes on the prize
And your feet flat on the ground
So keep the faith, baby, yeah
Because it's just a matter of time
Before your confidence will win out
Lift up your mind
Before your mind gets blown
Some things in life
You best just leave them alone
Go for what you want

You can make it happen
But ya got to keep the faith
Gon' keep it, brother

You can be a winner
If you're keeping the faith
Straighten out yourself
And get your mind on track
Dust off your butt
And get your self-respect back
