Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mother, mother, tell your children That their time has just begun I have suffered for my anger There's wars that can't be won [Verse 2] Father, father, please believe me 'Cause I am layin' down my guns I am broken like an arrow Forgive me, forgive your wayward son [Pre-Chorus] (Everybody needs somebody to love) Mother, mother (Everybody needs somebody to hate) Please believe me (Evеrybody's bitchin' 'cause the times arе tough) And it's hard to hold on when there's no one to lean on [Chorus] (Faith) You know you're gonna live through the rain You gotta keep the faith (Faith) Don't you let love turn to hate You gotta keep the faith [Post-Chorus] Keep the faith, keep the faith Oh, we've gotta keep the faith [Verse 3] Tell me, baby, when I hurt you Do you keep it all inside? Do you tell me all's forgiven Or just hide behind your pride? Yeah-yeah [Pre-Chorus] (Everybody needs somebody to love) Mother, father (Everybody needs somebody to hate) Please don't leave me (Everybody's bleedin' 'cause the times are tough) Well, it's hard to be strong when there's no one to dream on [Chorus] (Faith) You know you're gonna live through the rain We've gotta keep the faith (Faith) Don't you know it's never too late You've gotta keep the faith (Faith) Don't you let love turn to hate We gotta keep the faith [Post-Chorus] (Keep the faith) Keep the faith Everybody, keep the faith (Keep the faith) Keep the faith Come on and keep the faith Oh yeah, ooh yeah Uh, uh, uh, uh [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I've been walking in the footsteps of society's lies I don't like what I see no more, sometimes I wish my eyes wentblind Sometimes I wait forever, I stand out in the rain So no one sees me crying, when I wash away this pain [Pre-Chorus] Mother, father There's things I've done I can't erase Every night we fall from grace It's hard when the world's in your face Trying to hold on, trying to hold on [Chorus] (Faith) Know you're gonna live through the rain Oh, keep the faith (Faith) Don't let love turn to hate Right now, you've gotta keep the faith (Faith, keep the faith, keep the faith) Oh-whoa, keep the faith (Faith, keep the faith, keep the faith) Everybody keep the faith (Everybody needs somebody to love) (Everybody needs somebody to hate) (Everybody needs somebody to love) (Everybody needs, everybody, keep the faith) [Instrumental Outro]
