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
Chorus:
Faith: you know you're gonna live through 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
Tell me baby when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside
Do you tell me al's forgiven
And just hide behind your pride
Everybody needs somebody to love
(mother, father)
Everybody needs somebody to hate
(please don't leave me)
Everybody's bleeding
'cause the times are tough
Well it's hard to be strong
When there's no one to dream on
Chorus
Walking in the footsteps
Of society's lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever
To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Trying to wash away the 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 yours face
Trying to hold on, trying to hold on
Faith: you know you're gonna live through 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
Faith: now it's not too late
Try to hold on, trying to hold on
Keep the faith
Meaning of Keep the Faith
“Keep the Faith” is a plea for understanding and forgiveness amidst personal turmoil and societal strife. Bon Jovi’s message centers on acknowledging past mistakes – symbolized by laying down “guns” and brokenness – while desperately seeking redemption from loved ones, specifically mothers and fathers. The song expresses profound loneliness and frustration with a world filled with negativity and hardship, where people struggle to find strength and connection. It urges listeners to hold onto faith, recognizing that even through difficult times like “rain,” there’s an inherent hope for survival and healing. The repeated refrain, "Keep the faith," acts as a powerful call to persevere, offering solace and reminding us that ultimately, everyone needs love and understanding – though some may also harbor hate – and that forgiveness is crucial in navigating life's challenges with vulnerability and resilience.
