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 can't get enough

When it's hard to hold on

And there's no one to lean on

Faith!: You know you're gonna live trough the rain

Lord we've gotta keep the faith

Faith!: Dont you let your love turn to hate

Now we've gotta keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith

Lord we've gotta keep the faith

Tell me baby when I hurt you

Do you keep it all inside

Do you tell me "all's forgiven"

Just hide behind your pride

Yeahyeah!

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 trough the rain

Lord we've gotta keep the faith

Faith!: Dont you know it's never too late

Right now we gotta keep the faith

Faith!: Dont you let your love turn to hate

Lord we 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 Oh Yeahyeahyeah!

(Guitar Solo)

I've been walking in the footsteps

Of society's lies

I dont 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

Faith!: you know you're gonna live thru the rain

Lord you got to keep the faith

Faith!: don't you let your love turn to hate

Right now we got to keep the faith

Keep the faith

Keep the faith

Trying to hold on, trying to hold on yeah

Keep the faith

keep the faith

Everybody keep the faith!
