The Spirit Song

Take the rose despite the thorns,

Let your free will be reborn,

Don’t be afraid to brave the night

Shadows have their own dark plight,

and let your spirit be your light.

 

Chorus:

Let your spirit be your light,

Let it shine so very bright,

Like a beacon in the night,

Like an eagle’s silent flight,

Let your spirit be your light.

 

As the tempest rages ‘round,

Keep your feet right on the ground,

Appreciate the wonderous sight,

Thunder rolls with all its might,

But let your spirit be your light.

 

If temptation calls your name,

You don’t have to play his game,

Keep your own path in your sight,

Hold on firmly with all your might,

And let your spirit be your light.

 

If fear of failure comes around,

You can stare that devil down,

Trust your instincts cause they’re right,

You’ve already won the fight,

if you let your spirit be your light.

 

Let a song into your heart,

and you’ll know just where to start,

Sing it loud and sing it bright,

Surely it will come out right,

If you let your spirit be your light.
