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 me well well done
Everybody needs somebody to love
More than ever
Everybody needs somebody to love
Please believe me everybody's special
Cause they can't get enough
And it's hard to hold on
When there's no one to lean on hey
Now you're gonna live through the rain
Lord we gotta keep the faith
Faith don't you let your love turn to hate
Now we gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith keep the faith
Lord we've gotta keep the faith
Tell me baby when I hurt you
You keep it all inside
Do you tell me all's forgiven
Just hide behind your pride
Everybody needs somebody to love
Mother father
Everybody needs somebody to love
Please don't leave me
Everybody's bleeding
Cause their times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream on faith
Now you're gonna live through the rain

Yeah yeah
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 crying
Trying to wash away this pain
Mother father
These 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 walk away
You know you're going to live through the rain
Lord you got to keep the faith faith
Don't you let your love turn to hate
Right now you've got to keep the faith
Keep the faith

Trying to hold on trying to hold on yeah
Oh keep the keep the faith
Everybody keep the faith faith

I love
You
