When the sands of time are running out When the voice of opression screams and shouts When all seems lost, you've got to try To never let your spirit die
An angel came to greet meIt happened in a dreamHe spoke of my realityNot being what it seems
Within us lives a new worldThis world, he calmly saidWill only be when evil andAll its sorrows are truly dead, whoa
(Chorus)When the sands of time are running out(Spirit)When the voice of oppression screams and shouts(Spirit) When all seems lost, you got to try(Spirit)To never let your spirit die
(Never let your spirit die)
You cannot accept deceptionAnd real love will never lieWe must try to be the chosen fewAnd keep that love alive(Keep that love alive)
Yeah, we will never be unfulfilled, noAnd your deck will be full of aces'Cause, whenever the spirit willsWe can go to higher places (oh-oh)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Hey, hey, yeah, yeah)
(Spirit)
(Hey, hey, yeah, yeah)
(Spirit)
(Rap)You got to view this worldThrough kaleidoscopic eyesYou got to see every colorIf you want to see the reasons why
An angel came to greet meIt happened in a dreamHe spoke of my reality Not being what it seemsWithin us lives the new worldThis world, he calmly saidWill only be when evil andAll it's sorrows are truly dead
Spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit, yeah!
When the time is running outWhen the voice of oppression screams and shouts(Spirit) When all seems lost, you got to tryTo never let your spirit die
Never, never, never, never
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat with Ad-Libs and Fade) (Spirit)
Don't ever give up
