Mother mother tell your children
that their time has just begone
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)
everybodys 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
