mike east & zak - 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 p-ssion 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 sh0r-s 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, gr-ss 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 scr-pe 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
