Songs: Life lessons

ESPERANZA BELIEVE

A man with the plan, had it all figured out
Home in the hills, money and clout
By accident got high mixing some paint
Ran the streets showing things you can't

Esperanza believe
There's a much higher plan for us all
Esperanza believe
There's a much higher plan for us all

Disgraced now, his station grew weaker
Until he regressed to a troll in Topeka
He lost his job, his house and his wife
Then a tornado came and the bridge saved his life

Esperanza believe
There's a much higher plan for us all
Esperanza believe
There's a much higher plan for us all

From that day on he lived like a Quaker
Until he fell in with a cat from Jamaica
Who had Colombian friends of cocaine means
And bomber coats packing pistol magazines

Esperanza believe
There's a much higher plan for us all
Esperanza believe
There's a much higher plan for us all

Now he's back on track, new beginning
Same little town and high-brow living
Sometimes he thinks of how far he was down
They say that the Feds have been sniffing around

Esperanza believe
There's a much higher plan for us all
Esperanza believe
There's a much higher plan for us all
Esperanza believe
For every spring there is a fall
