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 thru 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
Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do
you tell me al's forgiven
And just hide behind your pride
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 thru the rain
Lord you got to
keep the faith
Now you know is not too late
Oh 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
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
Faith: you know you're
gonna live thru 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
Faith: now it's
not too late
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
Keep the faith
