Spirit

Out on corner St. Catherine
I hear a spirit sing
It’s crying out for my attention
No one else hears a thing

So paralyzed I stood and watched
As he began to play just for me
Singing don’t you be afraid cause I’m
Fighting all the powers over you

I don’t want for you what’s on me
Every time or place you’ll be at
I’ll be there telling you the truth
Of the world, what it is and who you are

I don’t want for you what’s on me
You got the potential to be
Greater than those who cradle you within their arms
Braver than those who couldn’t change or broke apart

So then I ask him, Why me?
He tells me peacefully
You are a link to someone greater
And life is its name
Though no one here can hear my words
They all have met me someplace somewhere
Oh I’ve told them what I’m telling you
Simply to remind them of their fate

I don’t want for you what’s on me
Every time or place you’ll be at
I’ll be there telling you the truth
Of the world, what it is and who you are

I don’t want for you what’s on me
You got the potential to be
Greater than those who cradle you within their arms
Braver than those who couldn’t change and broke apart

You are a part of something greater
Sever the hold of your creator

Now that I had this vision
Can I fix this
Change our future
Leave our maker
Spirit tell me
I’m forgetting
What my purpose was
Show me, help me
To be free

Where was I the moment passed me
Anybody here know where I am?

Any time or any place I’ll be there to remind
Every bar around your cage I pull till it unbinds

I don’t want for you what’s on me
Every time or place you’ll be at
I’ll be there telling you the truth
Of the world, what it is and who you are

I don’t want for you what’s on me
You got the potential to be
Greater than those who cradle you within their arms
Braver than those who couldn’t change and broke apart
