Mother mother tell your children

That their time has just begon

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 keep the faith

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 '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 it's 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 keep the faith
