That's the Spirit Songtext

von Judee Sill

Lone star light the lowlands, show up every stone
So far only you can lead us all back home
If they could keep me chained in
Still my heart would roam

To sleep enraptured
Waking up captured chills me to the bone
My home's in the westward direction
Of my own resurrection

Sunbeam be my highway, stream in on my sleep
Face me towards the new day until it breaks in me
Love is where I'm aiming
Down way is just as steep

To sleep enraptured
Waking up captured isn't liberty
So please lead me in the direction
Of my own resurrection

Last night I was dreaming spirits all could fly
When midnight woke up singing morning broke inside
No, I don't want taming
No, don't even try

To sleep enraptured
Waking up captured isn't worth the try
I'll die pointing in the direction
Of my own resurrection

Lone star light the lowlands, show up every stone
So far only you can lead us all back home
If they could keep me chained in
Still my heart would roam

To sleep enraptured
Waking up captured chills me to the bone
My home's in the westward direction
Of my own resurrection

That's the spirit
It can make you strong
That's the spirit
It can make you want to sing along

That's the spirit
It hears you way down low
That's the spirit
It'll pick you up and let you know
