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 layin' down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son
Everybody needs
somebody to love
Everybody needs
somebody to hate
Everybody's ********
'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
Lord we've gotta
keep the 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 your faith
Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me all is forgiven
Just hide behind your pride
Everybody needs
somebody to love
Everybody needs
somebody to hate
Everybody's bleedin'
'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
Lord we've gotta
keep the faith
Though you know it's
never too late
Right now we've gotta
keep the faith
Don't you let your
love turn to hate
Lord you'd better
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
Oo yeah
Oo yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I've been walkin' 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
Just starin' out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Tryin' to wash away this 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 yours face
Tryin' to hold on
Tryin' to hold on yeah
You know you're gonna
live through the rain
Lord you gotta
keep the faith
Don't you let your
love turn to hate
Right now we gotta
keep the faith
Try to hold on
Try to hold on yeah
Ow
Everybody keep the faith
Oo yeah ee yeah ee

Oo yeah ee yeah ee

Oo na na
