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.
