Mother, mother - tell your children
that their time has just begone
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 b**hing 'cause they can't get enough
and it's hard to hold on
when there's no one to lean on
[Chorus:]
Faith - You know you're gonna live thru the rain
lord, you got to keep the faith
faith - don't let your love turn to hate
right 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
or just hide behind your pride
Everybody needs somebody to love
Everybody needs somebody to hate
Everybody's bleeding 'cause they times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
when there's no one to dream on
[Chorus:]
Faith - you know you're gonna live thru the rain
Lord, you got to keep the faith
Faith - now you know it's never too late
Right now you got to keep the faith
Faith - don't let your love turn to hate
Right now we got to keep the faith
