Midwest Express - Esperanza lyrics

Mike: I've got this - it's all coming into focus Everything was leading up to now and I know this This is the moment of decision, the move to make I thought I already did and made a huge mistake But it makes sense now - the numbers come together From under terrible storm clouds to sunny weather It's like a fog has lifted; so long I've drifted through this bog and with me I've been schlepping around a song or fifty Now I'm releasing em, sending em off to high places - Like bringing my kids to their first day of school; Bright faces and tied laces, a backpack full of rap tracks Show 'em what you're made of, slugger... and that's that High hopes that what started as zygotes can meet the frequency of their sine notes, balance the tight ropes - Bring daddy home good grades You've all done a lot for me, and I would stay But I've got friends in all the right places I know what they want, I can see it in their faces They wanna see me sail this ship to the edge of the earth They know what the quest will be worth Never having to look back and say what if; Staring at the other vessels adrift This is my pa**ion and gift, just what I wanted to do And if you've got one, you should follow it too CHORUS (Mike & Zak): 'Cuz all the best things come with a fight Better your chances by battling hard Every time that you fall down, get up - Dust off your shirt and keep your battery charged Pay attention to the people around you Keep those who love you, sever who don't It might be hard to see, but the sky is always open Hold - On - Push - East. Never lose HOPE Zak: The words that I speak no longer hold weight Even the richest could not have bought and sold fate Waiting for life to start moving at its usual rate And transcend. I'm just perusing as a casual state I close my eyes and float down the river Corrode the shores of thought Sediment of sentiment withers Sticks and stones were thrown to break bones And words wounds where sores are shown So put up your lighter Make it brighter than the center of the Sun Could never go back and unwrite all the songs that I've ever sung Thunder bellows and lightning strikes as I see White and yellow frightening skies as I seek A brighter, cleaner morning and a cloudless afternoon Rain, rain, go away; doubtless, it'll be back soon Spring's around the corner, gra** will soon be green again Rings around the mourners, at least we have to meet an end Put our hands together, let our fingers intertwine Make something to stand forever A singer in a time When the world needs music to help remind us with each note: To NEVER give up, stop living, release hope Each key pressed, every scrape of a violin's bow Each line confessed, every stage an inspiring show Impart a lesson only taught with age: The sword can stay in the scabbard The pen is touching the page CHORUS (Mike & Zak): 'Cuz all the best things come with a fight Better your chances by battling hard Every time that you fall down, get up - Dust off your shirt and keep your battery charged Pay attention to the people around you Keep those who love you, sever who don't It might be hard to see, but the sky is always open Hold - On - Push - East. Never lose HOPE
