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, we’ve gotta keep the faith
Faith: don’t you let your love turn to hate
Right 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
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 we’ve gotta keep the faith
Faith!
Don’t you know it’s never too late
Right now we’ve gotta keep the faith
Faith: don’t you let your love turn to hate
Lord we’ve gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Oh, we’ve gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we’ve gotta keep the faith
I’ve been 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 this pain
Mother father
(Everybody needs somebody to love)
There’s things I’ve done I can’t erase
(Everybody needs somebody to hate)
Every night we fall from grace
(Everybody’s bitching ’cause they can’t get enough)
It’s hard with the world in your face
(Everybody bleeds)
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on
(Everybody, keep the pain)
Faith: you know you’re gonna live through the rain
Lord we’ve gotta keep the faith
Faith: don’t you let your love turn to hate
Right now we’ve gotta keep the faith
Faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on
Faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
(Everybody, keep the pain)
Faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Faith
(Everybody needs somebody to love)
(Everybody needs somebody to hate)
(Everybody needs somebody to love)
(Everybody bleeds)
(Everybody, keep the pain)
Faith
