[Verse 1]
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 b**hing
Because they can't get enough
And it's hard to hold on
When there's no one to lean on
[Chorus]
Faith, you know you're going to live through 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 [x3]
Lord, we got to keep the faith
[Verse 2]
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
Everybody needs somebody to love
(mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding
Because the times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream on
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
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 crying
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
[Chorus]
Faith, you know you're going live through 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
Faith, now it's not too late
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
Keep the faith
