Esperança

Staring out my window to the dark
Hoping for a light, waiting for a spark
I was searching high and low
Esperança, where'd you go?

I'll meet you in the Mile High City at dusk
Please, don't come if we're not gonna run
Oh, for some things you just gotta fight
I've been in the ring too many times, don't let me fall

Every time I turn around, it's the same
I need the new year, I need the new
Everything could change, but still the truth is
I need you here, I need you
Oh-oh
I need you

Spinning circles, let's be dancers
When I dance, it's with disaster
They say love's a melody
Well, it's been singing me to sleep, so let me fall

Every time I turn around, it's the same
I need a new year, I need the new
Everything could change, but still the truth is
I need you here, I need you
Oh-oh
I need you, I need you
Oh-oh
I need you

Sun, give me light, photosynthesis inside
Grow like a seed through the weeds into the sky
Tried and true, thirty-two, a different view
Beauty in the dark night
Power in the hard fight
Look and find and see
It's so good to be alive

Every time I turn around, it's the same
I need the new year, I need the new
Everything could change, but still the truth is
I need you here, I need you
Oh-oh
I need you, I need you
Oh-oh
I need you, I need you

(Esperança) Sun, give me light, photosynthesis inside
Grow like a seed through the weeds into the sky
Tried and true, thirty-two, a different view
(I need you here, I need you)
(Esperança) beauty in the dark night, power in the hard fight
Look and find and see (Esperança)
It's so good to be alive (I need you, I need you)
