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 *****ing
'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 you got to keep the faith
(Faith)
Don't let your love turn to hate
Now we got to keep the faith

Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord we've got to 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? Yeah, yeah

Everybody needs somebody to love
(Mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(Please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding
'Cause the times are though
(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 got to keep the faith
(Faith)
Now you know is not too late
Right now we got to keep the faith
(Faith)
Don't you let your love turn to hate
Lord, you got to keep the faith

Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Oh we got to keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord, we got to keep the faith

Ooh yeah
Ooh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I've been walking in the footsteps of society's lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever, to stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin', I'm 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 love)
Every night we fall from grace
(Everybody's *****in' cause they can't get enough)
It's hard with the world in your face
(Everybody please, everybody keep the faith)
Trying to hold, trying to hold on

(Faith)
You know you're gonna 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

(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 faith

(Faith)
(Keep the faith)
(Keep the faith)
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Everybody needs somebody to love)
Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Everybody needs somebody to hate)
(Faith)
(Everybody needs somebody to love)
(Keep the faith)
(Everybody needs somebody, everybody keep the faith)
(Faith)
(Faith)
