I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things you say
It doesn’t take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
I’m sensitive
And I’d like to stay that way.
“I’m Sensitive” – Pieces of You

You find yourself falling down
Your hopes in the sky
But you heart like grape gum on the ground
And you try to find yourself
In the abstractions of religion
And the cruelty of everyone else
And you wake up to realize
Your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive
When you’re standing in deep water
And you’re bailing yourself out with a straw
And when you’re drowning in deep water
And you wake up making love to a wall
Well it’s these little times that help to remind
It’s nothing without love
You wake up to realize your only friend
Has never been yourself or anybody who cared in the end
That’s when suddenly everything fades or falls away
‘Cause the chains which once held us are only the chains which we’ve made
…
We’ve compromised our pride
And sacrificed out health
We have to demand more
Not of each other
But more from ourselves
…
It’s nothing without love
It’s nothing without love
“Deep Water” – Spirit

My hands are small, I know
But they’re not yours, they are my own
But they’re not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn’t steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn’t ever after
We’ll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what’s right
‘Cause where there’s a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
“Hands” – Spirit

There are nightmares on the sidewalks
There are jokes on TV
There are people selling thoughtlessness
with such casualty
But wherefore art thou Romeo
where have all the brave men gone
Show me one man who know his own heart
To him I shall belong
“Kiss The Flame” – Spirit

But I’ve been down so long
Ooh, it can’t be longer still
I’ve been down so long
that the end must be drawing near
I look to everybody but me to answer my prayers
‘Til I saw an angel in a bathroom who said she saw no one worth saving anywhere
And a blind man on the corner said it’s simple, like flipping a coin
Don’t mater what side it lands on if it’s someone else’s dime
“Down So Long” – Spirit

Lend your voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend you strength to that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
And you shall lead a live uncommon
“Life Uncommon” – Spirit
