Funk The Fear - Esperanza Spalding

Why don’t we seize the day

And frost it in our own way

Why don’t you dare take a slice of this sitting out paradise

Eating it with your eyes

Just shy of your smarts or rights

To reach out and lift the glass

But there’s no one here to ask

(The invisible beat of a drum)

March in line

(Keeping all you are under the gun)

For no reason or rhyme

No facing that dream about

Paradise pigging out

I wanna break the rules with you

And see the dream come true

All I need you to do is

(Funk the fear, live your life)

Just like we came here to

(Funk the fear, live your life)

I want to do it with thee

(Funk the fear, live your life)

Just like we came here to

(Funk the fear, live your life)

Live your life

Funk the fear, live your life x2

Why don’t we go and do

Just what we came here to?

Nobody has to know

The moral of our show

(We could be)

Spiritual spouting fools

Or bombshells to cash their drool

Innocent as a fox

And other unchecked boxes

(In the margin of error for one)

We appear

(With a beautiful slip of the tongue)

That you hear from a reason

Waking you from a daze

Follow me down the maze

Through every craft and craze

For every dead end we find

Ways open in my mind

(There's a pitiful quip on the tongue)

I can tell

('Bout the marginal mission of one)

Very well

But your heard me calling you you up and out

That’s what this show’s about

I wanna break the rules with you

And see the dream come true

What I need you to do is

(Funk the fear, live your life)

Just like we came here to

(Funk the fear, live your life)

I want to do it with thee

(Funk the fear, live your life)

Just like we came here to

(Funk the fear, live your life)

I want to do it with thee

(Funk the fear, live your life)

Just like we came here to

(Funk the fear, live your life)

Live your life

Funk the fear, live your life (repeats until song fades out)

Cause in an instant it could be gone

And all the waiting was in vain

Cause in an instant it could be gone

It could be gone x7
