Keep the Faith lyrics

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 we've 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've 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

(Everybody needs somebody to love)

Mother, father

(Everybody needs somebody to hate)

Please don't leave me

(Everybodys 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, we've 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've gotta keep the faith

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

[Instrumental]

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 cryin

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 can't get enough)

It's hard with the world in your face (Everybody needs)

Trying to hold on, trying to hold on

(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, yeah

Keep the faith

Keep the faith

Everybody keep the faith

(Faith!)

Keep the faith

Keep the faith

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

(Everybody needs somebody to love)

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

(Everybody needs somebody to hate)

(Everybody's bitching 'cause they can't get enough)

(Everybody needs)

(Everybody, keep the faith)
