I can see my destination
I can hear my call
No more hesitation, mmm
This time I'm goin? for all

?Cause I know where this road leads to
And therefore I will rise
I know this dream will come true, uh
And I will soar the sky

(Spirit, spirit)
Would you guide me, oh
(Spirit) Oh (Spirit)
Stand by me
Come on, come on, come on
Set me free

I can feel the penetration
Of a strong wind movin? me, mmm
I can feel the elevation, mmm
Of an angel lifting me, mmm

?Cause I know where this roads leads to
Therefore I will rise
I know this dream will come true, oh
And I will soar the sky

Oh, spirit, spirit

Now that I've found my way home

Though one step seems one mile long
Your bridge before my face
I will take the leap of faith

Spirit, spirit

Oh, spirit, spirit
