I know it’s easy to say
Don’t let this earthquake get you down
As you hold your head and bawl
In times of sorrow
I know it’s easy to say
When your back is up against the wall
Don’t be forsaken no
Cause there’s tomorrow
CHORUS
Hold on Hold on For Haiti
Yes I know it’s easy to say
That the world is right there by your side
As we all will share with you
Your devastation
I know it’s easy to say
You got to keep your head up high
But we truly sympathise
With your frustration
CHORUS II
Up ye mighty race
Be warm to our embrace
Want to show you how much we care
Up ye mighty race
You cannot be replaced
Want to show how much we care
HOLD ON and MOVE ON
I know that life is for the living
And can be so unforgiving
Cause often times we think there’s no love
Just keep your self believing
And bear witness to your uprising
Together we’ve got problems to solve
CHORUS III
HOLD ON and MOVE ON
HOLD ON yeh BE STRONG for Haiti
360° for Haiti
You are Africa’s first descendants
To win struggle for independence
For your fortitude and resilience
Toussaint L’Ouverture’s investment
You can’t afford to be redundant
You can’t afford to be redundant
You can’t afford to be redundant
