Lyrics for Espera

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
