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
|
