lyrics

I long to see things with the wisdom of a child
To see with vision that cuts through the fog of life
To feel the light of love and to love fiercely and fearless
Because somewhere, there’s something to be seen
Something to be believed in
Something magical, something forgotten
Something pure
Esperanza, quiero creer en ti
Esperanza, quiero crearte en mi
I long to know the truth deep in my soul, and never lose grip of it
But I have aged, my hands are weak
I’ve lost the eyes that see through the haze
Somehow, there must be a way
To escape the nooses we were forced to make
What if I said no? What if I grew wings?
What if I became the light I wanted to see?
When everything you hold sacred crumbles,
When your world fails
Will you fail with it? Dragged down by your armor?
Or will you shed your gauntlets and use your hands to build a fire
To burn away the disease?
Breed the pyrexia this world needs
Esperanza, quiero creer en ti pero
Esperanza, no puedo crearte en mi
Somos tontos, perdidos en la oscuridad que hemos creado
Para escondernos de los ojos de dios
No podemos saber que nos espera en el mar de la sangre que nosotros hemos derramado
No hay armadura que nos salve
Somos como cenizas
Y no hay vida que puede crecer de nuestra verguenza
Esperanza, donde estas en este mundo?
