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
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 got to keep the faith
Faith don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord 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
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 got to keep the faith
Faith don't let you know is never too late
Oh you got to keep the faith
Faith you know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith
Lord you got to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we got to keep the faith
Walking in the footsteps
Of society's lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever
To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Trying to wash away the 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 yours face
Trying to hold on trying to hold on
Lord you got to keep the faith
My we got to keep the faith
Faith you know you're gonna live through the rain
Try to hold on trying to hold on
Don't let you know is never too late
Everybody keep the faith
