Keep the Faith (Live In New York, 2000)

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

Father, Father, please believe me

Oh, I am layin' 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 bitchin' 'cause times are tough

Well, it's hard to hold on when there's no one to lean on

Faith, you know you're gonna live through the rain

You've gotta keep the faith

Faith, don't you let your love turn to hate

You've gotta keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith

Whoa, you better keep the faith

Tell me, baby, when I hurt you

Did you keep it all inside?

Do you tell me all's forgiven

And hide behind your pride? Yeah

Everybody needs somebody to love

Mother, Father

Everybody needs somebody to hate

Please don't leave me

Everybody's bitchin' 'cause the times are tough

Well, it's hard to be strong with no one to lean on

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

Come on, keep the faith

Faith, don't you let your love turn to hate

We've gotta keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith

Oh, you better keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith

You better 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 that I was blind

Sometimes I wait forever to stand out in the rain

So no one sees me crying, when 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 your face

Trying to hold on, trying to hold on

Faith, you know you're gonna live through the rain

You gotta keep the faith

Faith, well, don't you let your love turn to hate

Right now you've gotta keep the faith

Faith, keep the faith, keep the faith now

You gotta keep the faith

Faith, keep the faith, keep the faith now

You gotta keep the faith

Everybody needs somebody to love

Everybody needs somebody to hate

Everybody needs somebody to love

Everybody needs, everybody keep the faith
