Keep The Faith was the Georgian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kiev performed by Tamara Gachechiladze.
It was performed second in the first semifinal following Sweden and preceding Australia. At the close of voting, it finished in 11th place with 99 points, just missing out on the final.
Tamara explained the meaning of her song:
- "There is only one most interesting and important aspect in my entry! The message of the song itself. I wanted to tell to the whole world that no matter how tougher situations in life can be, you got to keep the faith, believe in yourself and never give up."[1]
Lyrics[]
Who told you to hide behind the veil?
Who told you to get out of the way?
Don't you let them steal your dreams
Feel the courage, spread your wings and breathe
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Remember you are not alone
Hold my hand and come along, you
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you down
Even if the world is rough
Who told you that I reached the points with no regrets?
Who told you that my life is a book of fairytales?
I have lost many times
But I've never lost my hope
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Remember you are not alone
Hold my hand and come along, you
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you down
Even if the world is rough
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Ooh! You got to stand on your own
Crowd hear me out!
The world needs more love!
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Remember you are not alone
Hold my hand and come along, you
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you down
Even if the world is rough
Oh oh ooh, keep the faith!
