[Intro]
Everybody needs somebody to love
Everybody needs somebody to hate
[Verse]
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 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 to hate
Everybody's bitchin' 'cause we 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, we've gotta keep the faith
(Faith) Don't you let your love turn to hate
Now we've gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith, keep the faith
Lord, we've gotta keep the faith
[Build]
(Keep the faith, keep the faith)
(Lord, we've gotta keep the faith)
And it's hard to hold on when there's no one to lean on
[Drop]
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody needs somebody to love
Everybody needs somebody to hate
Everybody's bitchin' 'cause we 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, we've gotta keep the faith
(Faith) Don't you let your love turn to hate
Now we've gotta keep the faith
[Build]
Keep the faith, keep the faith (Forgive your wayward son)
And it's hard to hold on when there's no one to lean on
[Drop]
Keep The Faith was written by Jon Bon Jovi & Desmond Child & Richie Sambora.
Keep The Faith was produced by Johnny Newman & Armin van Buuren.
Armin van Buuren released Keep The Faith on Fri Feb 28 2025.
Armin van Buuren:
Reworking this track was an incredible honor on its own, but having Jon Bon Jovi join me on stage at Ultra was a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Rock music has always inspired me, and I’ve been a Bon Jovi fan for ages, so this was truly special.
