(feat. Deanna, Diana and Dymond)

[Charles:]
Hello

[Deanna:]
Hey little brother

[Charles:]
Hey sis how you doing?

[Deanna:]
Fine, what's going on with you?

[Charles:]
Oh nothing much

[Deanna:]
Got your message from earlier this afternoon
And something just didn't sound right
And so I'm calling you back to check on you
How you holding up?

[Charles:]
Oh everything is fine

[Deanna:]
You know I don't believe you

[Charles:]
Whatcha saying? You think I'm lying?

[Deanna:]
I'm not saying it, but I know you

[Charles:]
How you know me?

[Deanna:]
Cause you're my brother
And therefore I can tell
When something is troubling you

[Charles:]
Ok Ok, I give you that
Nothing's wrong, I take that back
There is something on my mind
But sis, I don't want to waste your time

[Deanna:]
But I done told you time and time again
Whatever you're going through
You can come and talk to me
And I will say a prayer with you

[Charles:]
But I done prayed and prayed night and day
I still can't seem to find my way

[Deanna:]
Charles that ain't nothing but the devil telling you
That you're washed up and you're through
But sister's here to let you know
Boy you're gonna make it through

[Charles:]
Sister, do you really believe that I can rise again

[Deanna:]
Yes, and not only that, Charles, God will forgive you for your sins

[Charles:]
Can you tell me what to do?

[Deanna:]
Well first you gotta believe the truth

[Charles:]
Sometimes it's hard to believe in Him

[Deanna:]
That's okay because he believes in you

The winds, the rain
The storm
The weapons that are formed against us (I will survive)
The trying times
The sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us (and I believe yeah)
Through all of the hills
And valleys roamed
That we must come to (woah)
Walk side by side
Follow the light
And we'll make it through (We'll make it through yeah)

[Charles:]
So, so what you're saying is believe a little more?

[Deanna:]
Yes, cause faith is the key that will opens up the door

[Charles:]
What you're saying to me, it's hard to receive
Especially when trouble follows me

[Deanna:]
When we're keeping it real
Charles sometimes
Trouble can follow where you lead

[Charles:]
Yes sister, I know sometimes, but I...

[Deanna:]
Just wait, let me make a phone call

[Charles:]
To who?

[Deanna:]
A prayer buddy of mine
She can help you tear down your walls

[Charles:]
I don't want nobody in my business

[Deanna:]
She's a friend
And besides you need this

[Charles:]
You know how church folk can be

[Deanna:]
Boy I'm your sister, trust in me

[Charles:]
Mmm

[Deanna:]
Now hold on

[Charles:]
Maybe she's gone...

[Deanna:]
No

[Charles:]
Maybe we ought to just try...

[Dymond:]
Hello

[Deanna:]
Shh shh, hello, is Diana there?

[Dymond:]
Yes, I think she's around here somewhere
Hold on

[Deanna:]
Now you just let me do the talking

[Charles:]
Mmm hmm

[Diana:]
Hello?

[Deanna:]
Hey girl, how you doing?

[Diana:]
Hey Deanna

[Deanna:]
My little brother's on the line and needed advice from you

[Diana:]
Ooh what can I do for you?
Hello?

[Deanna:]
Go ahead Charles, she's talking to you

[Charles:]
Oh, well, I know you must be very busy
So I'm not going to mess around, nah
Just telling my sister how my life is upside down
And I don't know whether I'm going left or right half the time
Sometimes think I'm gonna lose my mind, you feel me?

[Diana:]
Mmm hmm... similar to what I used to go through

[Charles:]
Really?

[Diana:]
Yes, and sometimes I still do

[Charles:]
Yeah?

[Diana:]
See it doesn't matter who you are
Or where you're from
If you struggle, God will use you

[Deanna:]
Amen sister, what you're saying is so true
Charles are you there?

[Charles:]
Yes, I'm just listening to the both of you
It's so easy to say, but not so easy to do

[Diana:]
Yes but if you stand the truth
It will free you

[Charles:]
Oh

[Diana:]
Just stand strong

[Deanna:]
Stand strong

[Diana:]
With your head held high

[Deanna:]
With your head held high

[Diana:]
Said it wont be long
In time he will provide

[Charles:]
Will he?

[Deanna:]
Yes he will

[Diana:]
You just stay in the race

[Deanna:]
Just stay in the race

[Diana:]
And keep on running

[Deanna:]
And down to the end

[Diana and Deanna:]
Cause your day is coming

The winds, the rain
The storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times
The sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us
Through all of the hills
And valleys roamed
That we must come to
Walk side by side
Follow the light
And we'll make it through

[Deanna:]
He'll give you peace
In the midst of your storm

[Charles:]
Sometimes I feel like it's too late for me

[Deanna:]
But he'll never leave you

[Diana:]
No way

[Deanna:]
You just gotta hang on

[Diana:]
Hang on

[Deanna:]
Charles say a prayer, keep your head
God will do just what he said

[Charles:]
Finally I think I get it

[Deanna:]
Yes, that's it
That's the spirit

The winds, the rain
The storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times
The sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us
Through all of the hills
And valleys roamed
That we must come to
Walk side by side
Follow the light
And we'll make it through
The winds, the rain
The storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times
The sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us
Through all of the hills
And valleys roamed
That we must come to
Walk side by side
Follow the light
And we'll make it through
The winds, the rain
The storm
The weapons that are formed against us
The trying times
The sleepless nights
Just know that faith is with us
