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 don’t get enough
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 we’ve gotta keep the faith
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 the 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, 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

Faith
You know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord we’ve gotta keep the faith
Faith
Don't you know it’s never too late
Right now we’ve 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’ve gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Lord we gotta keep the faith
Ooh yea, ooh yea
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I been walking in the footsteps
Of society’s lies
I don’t like what I see anymore
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
(Everybody needs somebody to love)
There’s things I’ve done I can’t erase
(Everybody needs somebody to hate)
And every night we fall from grace
(Everybody’s bitching ‘cause they don’t get enough)
It’s hard with the world in your face
(Everybody needs)
Trying to hold on
(Everybody, keep the faith)
Trying to hold on, yea

Faith
You 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’ve gotta keep the faith

Faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith
(Trying to hold on, trying to hold on yea)
Faith (Ow)
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Everybody keep the faith
Faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith
(Ooh yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah)
(Faith)

Everybody needs somebody to love
(Ooh yea, yea, yea, yea, yeah)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(Faith)
(Na, na, na)
Everybody needs somebody to love
(Oh, na, na)
Everybody needs (Oh), everybody, keep the faith
Faith
