Spirit

Maurice white, al mckay & philip bailey


It was saturday nite, the moon was bright
Shining down, it's harvest light
Music all around to hear, set the stage
And atmosphere--many dress to suit
Their taste, participate in the ego race
Tonite's the night, for you to be
Biggest man in history

Saturday nite's your curtain call
You found your place after all
I saw a face in the crowd
Sayin' nothin', yet talking loud

Life is just a day
Living games we play
London bridge is fallin' down
Do what simon says
Doing what you feel,
Games can be unreal
Humpty-dumpty when you fall
There be no one here to call
Life is stil your mystery
You see, you see, you see

Many friends, who gather 'round
In hope, to feel safe and sound
We emphasize, to make it clear
Our stumbling nations atmosphere
While looking thru the looking glass
Our vision show, a stormy past
When you gonna wake, and see the sun--
Stop wasting time and having fun

Life is just a day
Daily games we play
London bridge has fallen down
You did what simon said
Doing what you feel
Games are so unreal
Humpty-dumpty why'd you fall
You see there's no one here to call
Now we've solved this mystery
You see, you see, you see

Maurice white & skip scarborough


Are you satisfied
In your life and time
Does it clear you mind
With all the hurt you find

Built on mother earth
They were meant to stay
Nations bloom today
On gifts of yesterday

Born of the earth, are nature's children
Fed by the wind, the breath of life
Judged by the fiery hands of god

World goes by the hand
Of the master plan
Can't you understand
You're but a grain of sand

Do you need a guide
To make you feel satisfied
Head to the sky
Will tell you why

Born of the earth, are nature's children
Fed by the wind, the breath of life
Judged by the fiery hands of god

Maurice white & larry dunn


Many years has passed and a day
Still we walk, in the path
That leads, to the light
Shining down, on this great beyond
Thoughts ignite us, let love unite us
Then turn your face to the wind
And taste his love within

You'll find a friend - everlasting love
You can depend, everytime you smile
You bless a child
Our spirit perpetuates
Our spirit meditates love and faith

We must make our brother see
That the light is he
Shining on you and me
And the land he gave
Roads we must pave
Looking thru each others eyes
Humanity will rise
In love

And our spirit will
Be at one with thee.

Ain't it funny that the way you feel,
Shows on your face-
And no matter,how you try to hide it'll state your case-
Now a frown will bring your sprits down to the ground
And never let you see, the good things all around-
Everytime we seem to let
Our feelings show, our luck-
Run out and the wind won't blow-

But, that can't make me
That can't make me sad
Cause, i've been there before
Don't wanna go no more-

Sadness bears no remedy, for the problems in your life
Won't disappear- this world can't shake me
Bad times can't make me sad
Ole world can't take me
Won't let it drive me mad
While you run your race
Keep a smilin' face-
Help you set your pace
Life is on your case

Wish upon a sunnyday, it'll turn to rain-
Use the sunshine in your heart, to ease the pain-
We wonder, how your attitude is going down-
Is it wakin' and shakin' and safe and sound-
Everytime we seem, let our feelings flo-
Our luck runs out.
And the wind won't blow.

You can't shake me, the way i feel today.
Come tomorrow i'll feel the same way
Wake me! my heart us feeling glad-
I'll take you with me when you're feelin' bad-
