Esperanza

Esperanza (S) (A lone voice whispers) I'll always miss you, and all the crazy little things we used to do But now like a faded white sculpture painted black Our Time together ran out and all I can do is react and inside scream For there's no going back to that The games The embraces with me bending the knee for my one and only queen But we all have a choice So I'll pick up my tarnished name from the wet dirt of hurt Brush it off with the wet brush of hope and Take it back to my new home to help me cope For knowing what I now know There's no going back Now I've been painted black and classed as unholy And have suffered enough So all I can do is take each day slowly Singing this melody Sending out my souls call Oh, Only a new love can help heal this fall (C) Copyright John Duffy Esperanza / Spanish Translation - Hope
