Staring out my window to the dark
Hoping for a light
Waiting for a spark

I was searching high and low
Esperança, where'd you go?

I'll meet you in the Mile High City at dusk
Please don't come if we're not gonna run
Oh for some things you just gotta fight
I've been in the ring too many times
Don't let me fall

Every time I turn around, it's the same
I need a new year
I need the new
Everything could change, but still the truth is
I need you here
I need you
Oh-oh
I need you

Spinning circles, let's be dancers
When I dance it's with disaster
They say love's a melody
Well it's been singing me to sleep
So let me fall
Every time I turn around, it's the same
I need a new year
I need the new
Everything could change, but still the truth is
I need you here
I need you
Oh-oh
I need you
I need you
Oh-oh
I need you

Sun, give me light, photosynthesis inside
Grow like a seed through the weeds into the sky
Tried and true
Thirty-two, a different view
Beauty in the dark night
Power in the hard fight
Look and find and see
It's so good to be
Alive

Every time I turn around, it's the same
I need a new year
I need the new
Everything could change, but still the truth is
I need you here
I need you
Oh-oh
I need you
I need you
Oh-oh
I need you
I need you
Esperança
Sun, give me light, photosynthesis inside
Grow like a seed through the weeds into the sky
Tried and true
Thirty-two, a different view
(I need you here)
(I need you) (Esperança)
Beauty in the dark night
Power in the hard fight
Look and find and see (Esperança)
It's so good to be
(I need you)
(I need you)
Alive
