Spirit - The Waterboys

[Wanna Be Counsellor]

Spirit lyrics

Spirit
(Mike Scott)

Man gets tired
Spirit don't
Man surrenders
Spirit won't
Man crawls
Spirit flies
Spirit lives when man dies
Man seems
Spirit is
Man dreams
The spirit lives
Man is tethered
Spirit is free
What spirit is man can be

This song hit home the very first time I heard it. I have found it to be very emotive and yet very uplifting at the same time. In a time of dispair I drew from these lyrics.
