Prince - Spirit lyrics

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 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, whoa 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 deception And real love will never lie We must try to be the chosen few And keep that love alive (Keep that love alive) Yeah, we will never be unfulfilled, no And your deck will be full of aces 'Cause, whenever the spirit wills We can go to higher places (oh-oh) 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 (Hey, hey, yeah, yeah) (Spirit) (Hey, hey, yeah, yeah) (Spirit) (Rap) You got to view this world Through kaleidoscopic eyes You got to see every color If you want to see the reasons why An angel came to greet me It happened in a dream He spoke of my reality Not being what it seems Within us lives the new world This world, he calmly said Will only be when evil and All it's sorrows are truly dead Spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit, yeah! When the time is running out When the voice of oppression screams and shouts (Spirit) When all seems lost, you got to try To never let your spirit die Never, never, never, never 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 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 (Spirit) Don't ever give up
