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, somehow 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 faults mendless Of this I'm sure enough I won't give up I'm sure enough And I won't give up Oh I'm sure enough And I won't give up
