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

[Verse 2]
Father, father, believe me
I'm layin' down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me, forgive your wayward son

[Pre-Chorus]
(Everybody needs somebody to love)
Everybody needs somebody

[Chorus]
Faith, you know you're gonna live through the rain
Gotta keep the faith
Don't you let your love turn to hate
Gotta keep the faith

[Post-Chorus]
Keep the faith

[Verse 3]
Tell me, baby, when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside?
Do you tell me all's forgiven
And hide behind your pride?
[Pre-Chorus]
(Everybody needs somebody to love)
Everybody needs somebody

[Chorus]
Faith, you know you're gonna live through the rain
Keep the faith
Don't you know it's never too late
Keep the faith
Don't you let love turn to hate
We've gotta keep the faith

[Post-Chorus]
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith, keep the faith

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Faith
You know you 're gonna live through the rain
Keep the faith
Don't let love turn to hate
Keep the faith

[Chorus]
You know you're gonna live through the rain
Don't you know it's never too late? Oh-oh
Keep the faith, keep the faith, keep the faith (Faith)
Keep the faith, keep the faith
[Outro]
Everybody needs somebody to love
Everybody need somebody
Mother, mother, tell your children
Everybody keep the faith
Father, father, please believe me
Everybody bleeds
Everybody keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith
