Esperanza Spalding Espera Lyrics

Espera Lyrics

people i almost gave up holding on

watching us give into our fears

i
almost believe

almost believe

all the world is helpless sorrow

no hope for a bright tomorrow

but i'm not sure enough

to give it
up...no



now as i learn how i must work for change

i nearly
cave in from the weight

i almost believe

almost believe

all
the sorrows will consume me

'til peace among men i never can see

but i'm not sure enough to give it up



i'll keep faith

like
so many souls who won't be drowned

by evil in the world

I HAVE FAITH
IN MANKIND

that we can guide our choices towards a healthy world

in
time to ease our bind

for only hard work through time

can change
men's minds, i know

if we make some small changes now

we'll heal
ourselves, some way, some how



i don't expect to ever taste the
fruit

my life devoted could bring forth

i almost believe

well
i do believe

oh the path to peace is endless

so, choosing to close
our eyes makes our fault mendless

of this i'm sure enough



I
WON'T GIVE UP

I'M SURE ENOUGH

AND I WON'T GIVE UP

I'M SURE
ENOUGH

AND I WON'T GIVE UP
