Mother mother, tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my 1
There are wars that can't be won

Father father, 2 believe me
I am laying down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your 3 son

Everybody needs somebody to love
(Mother, mother)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(Please 4 me)

Everybody's bitching
'Cause they don't get enough
And it's hard to hold on
When 5 's no one to lean on

Lord you gotta keep the faith

Don't you let your 7 turn to hate
Now we got to keep the faith

Do you keep it all inside?
Do you 9 me all's forgiven
And just hide behind your pride, yeah

Everybody needs somebody to love
(Mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate

Everybody's bleeding
'Cause the times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream on

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
Just stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Trying to wash away this 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 your face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on, yeah

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!

Trying to hold on, trying to hold on, yeah
