Spirits
Woon Jamie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

While we have oceans
Rivers that still bring us life
Reasons to live in the moment
Hold onto your time

Let your heart go where the wind takes it
Pure like the raindrops of time
Follow the path where it takes you
Straight down the line

Ladies and gentlemen
Surely we're here in mind
Watching our spirits dance on the
On the backs of our lives

How can one sit back and dream it
I'd have no peace in my life
Climbing these walls in an hourglass
Prized in our strife

And I have seen worlds filled with wonder
Lost on my own lonely mile
Lessons I wish that I had mirrored
Time after time

Ladies and gentlemen
Surely we're here in mind
Watching our spirits dance on the
On the backs of our lives

While we have oceans
While we have oceans
While we have oceans
Rivers that still bring us life
Reasons to dance in the moment
Hold onto your time

Come fill up your souls with our blessings
Hold up your hands to the sky
Let the whole world know you're out there
High in our highs

Ladies and gentlemen
Surely we're here in mind




Watching our spirits dance on the
On the backs of our lives
