[Feat. Chris Brown]

When I don't have the words
You say the thing I need to hear
You turn my heart away from fear
All I can do, depends on if, I know that you are here

When you talk you bring me life
When you talk you bring me life
When you talk you bring me life, ah ah

Playbacking my mind
Cause I feel I'm just playing my life in rewind
You been a part of my life, and truefully I love you
Nothing can take me away from you

It's your spirit
I can feel it
You're what guides me to find my way
It's your spirit
It's your spirit
I understand now I have a chance now

I never am alone
There is your presents that surrounds me
I can't see myself, trying to go on without you

When you talk you bring me life
When you talk you bring me life
When you talk you bring me life, ah ah

Playbacking my mind
Cause I feel I'm just playing my life in rewind
You been a part of my life, and truefully I love you
Nothing can take me away from you

It's your spirit
I can feel it
You're what guides me to find my way
It's your spirit
It's your spirit
I understand now I have a chance now

If I close my eyes, there's no emptiness
Even when they're closed I see you

Playbacking my mind
Cause I feel I'm just playing my life in rewind
You been a part of my life, and truefully I love you
Nothing can take me away from you

It's your spirit
I can feel it
You're what guides me to find my way
It's your spirit




It's your spirit
I understand now I have a chance now

Dag... this joint is one of those deep ones that barely anybody knows about... this is why I keep supporting this man. He’s got grounding in spite of his public image... I just keep praying he finds his true God-given purpose and submits to Jesus, cuz he’s got a huuuuge gift that God needs to use for His glory!!!
