Keep The Faith

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 don'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
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
And just hide behind your pride? 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 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
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', tryna 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 don't get enough)
It's hard with the world in your face (everybody needs)
Tryna hold on, tryna hold on (everybody, keep the faith)

(Faith!) You know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord, you'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
Try to hold on, tryna hold on, yeah
(Faith!) Keep the faith, keep the faith
Everybody keep the faith
(Faith!) Keep the faith, keep the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Faith! Everybody needs somebody to love)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (everybody needs somebody to hate)
(Faith! Everybody needs somebody to love)
(Everybody needs, everybody, keep the faith, faith!)
