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
Mother, mother
please believe me
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 you let
your love turn to hate
now we got to
keep the faith
Keep the faith,
keep the faith
Lord we 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?
Mother, father
please don't leave me
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, don't you know
it's never too late
Right now we've
got to keep the faith
Faith, don't you let
your love turn to hate
Lord you've got to
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 got to
keep the faith
Ooh yeah, ooh 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 crying
Trying 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 your face
Trying to hold on
Trying to hold on
Faith, you know you're
gonna 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
