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 can't get enough

And it's hard to hold on

When there's no one to lean on

You know you're gonna live through the rain (Faith)

Lord, we've gotta keep the faith

Don't you let your love turn to hate (Faith)

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

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

You know you're gonna live through the rain (Faith)

Lord, we've gotta keep the faith

Don't you know it's never too late? (Faith)

Right now, we've gotta keep the faith

Don't you let your love turn to hate (Faith)

Lord, you gotta keep the faith

Keep the faith

Keep the faith

Oh, we've got to 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 can't get enough)

It's hard with the world in your face (Everybody bleeds, everybody, keep the faith)

Tryna hold on, tryna hold on, yeah

You know you're gonna live through the rain (Faith)

Lord, you gotta keep the faith

Don't you let your love turn to hate (Faith)

Right now, we've got to keep the faith

Faith, keep the faith, keep the faith

Tryna hold on, tryna hold on, yeah

Faith, keep the faith, keep the faith

Everybody, keep the faith

Faith, keep the faith, keep the faith

Everybody needs somebody to love

Everybody needs somebody to hate

Everybody needs somebody to love

Everybody bleeds, everybody, keep the faith
