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 can`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 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. 
And just hide behind your pride. 


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 thru the rain. 
Lord you got to keep the faith. 
Now you know is not too late. 
Oh 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. 


Walking in the footsteps.Of society`s lies. 
I don`t like what I see no more 
Sometimes I wish that I was blind. 
Sometimes I wait forever. 


To stand out in the rain. 
So no one sees me cryin`. 
Trying to wash away the 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. 
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on. 


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. 
Faith: now it`s not too late. 
Try to hold on, trying to hold on. 
Keep the faith.
