Spirit Songtext

von Prince

When the sands of time are running out
When the voice of oppression screams and shouts
When all seems lost U got 2 try
2 never let your spirit die
(Spirit)

An angel came 2 greet me
It happened in a dream
Spoke of my reality
Not being what it seems

Within us lives a new world
This world, he calmly said
Will only be when evil and all its sorrows are truly dead, oh

[Chorus]
When the sands of time are running out (Spirit)
When the voice of oppression screams and shouts (Spirit)
When all seems lost U got 2 try (Spirit)
2 never let your spirit die

(Never let your spirit die)

U cannot accept deception
And real love will never lie
We must try 2 be the chosen few
And keep that love alive
(Keep that love alive)

We will never be unfulfilled
Your deck will be full of aces
Whenever the spirit wills
We can go 2 higher places

[Chorus]
(Yeah, yeah)

Spirit
(Yeah, yeah)
Spirit

U got 2 view this world
Through kaleidoscopic eyes
U got 2 see every color
If U want 2 see the reasons why

An angel came 2 greet me
It happened in a dream
He spoke of my reality
Not being what it seems
Within us lives a new world
This world, he calmly said
Will only be when evil and all its sorrows are truly dead

Spirit {x4}
Ohh!

When your time is running out (Spirit)
When the voice of oppression screams and shouts (Spirit)
When all seems lost U got 2 try (Spirit)
2 never let your spirit die
(Never) {x5}

[Chorus]
(Spirit)

Whoa ohh ohh (Spirit) {x4}
Don't ever give up
(Spirit) {fade out}
