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
Everybody needs somebody to love
And everybody's reaching for the things they love
It's hard to hold on when there's no one to lean on

Faith, I know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord, you gotta keep the faith
Faith, don't you let your love turn to hate
Now we gotta keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith
Lord, we gotta keep the faith

Tell me, baby, when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside?
Do you tell me, all forgiven
Just hide behind your pride?

Everybody needs somebody to love
Everybody needs somebody to love
And everybody's reaching for the things they love
It's hard to be strong when there's no one to dream on

Faith, I know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord, you gotta keep the faith
Faith, don't you know it's never too late?
Right now we gotta keep the faith
Faith, don't you let your love turn to hate
Lord, you gotta keep the faith

Keep the faith, keep the faith
Oh, we gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Lord, we gotta keep the faith

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

Everybody needs somebody to love
Everybody needs somebody to love
Every night we fall from grace
And everybody's reaching for the things they love
It's hard with the world in your face
Everybody needs somebody to love
Try to hold on, try to hold on

Faith, I know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord, you gotta keep the faith
Faith, don't you let your love turn to hate
Right now we gotta keep the faith

Faith, keep the faith, keep the faith
Try to hold on, try to hold on
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 love
Everybody needs somebody to love
Everybody needs, everybody, keep the faith
