Mother mother tell your children That their time has just begun I have suffered for my anger There are wars that can't be won
Father father please believe me I am laying down my guns I am broken like an arrow Forgive me Forgive your wayward son
Everybody needs somebody to love (Mother, mother) Everybody needs somebody to hate (Please believe me)
Everybody's bitching 'Cause they don't get enough And it's hard to hold on When there's no one to lean on
Faith! You know you're gonna live through the rain Lord you gotta keep the faith Faith! Don't you let your love turn to hate Now we got to keep the faith Keep the faith Keep the faith Lord we got to keep the faith
Tell me baby when I hurt you Do you keep it all inside? Do you tell me all's forgiven And just hide behind your pride - yeah
Everybody needs somebody to love (Mother, father) Everybody needs somebody to hate (Please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding 'Cause the times are tough Well it's hard to be strong When there's no one to dream on
Faith! You know you're gonna live through the rain Lord you gotta keep the faith Faith! Don't you know it's never too late? Right now we got to keep the faith Faith! Don't you let your love turn to hate Lord you gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith Keep the faith Oh, we got to keep the faith Keep the faith Keep the faith Lord we got to keep the faith Oh yeah, oh yeah - yeah yeah yeah
[Solo]
I've been walking in the footsteps Of society's lies I don't like what I see no more Sometimes I wish I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever To stand out in the rain So no one sees me cryin' Trying to wash away this pain
Mother father There's things I've done I can't erase Every night we fall from grace It's hard with the world in your face Trying to hold on, trying to hold on - yeah
Faith! You know you're gonna live through the rain Lord you gotta keep the faith Faith! Don't you let your love turn to hate Right now we gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith Keep the faith Trying to hold on, trying to hold on - yeah Keep the faith - ow! Keep the faith
Everybody keep the faith Keep the faith Keep the faith Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
