Spirit - Martika

When the sands of time are running out

When the voice of oppression screams and shouts

When all seems lost, you’ve got to try

To never let your spirit die

An angel came to greet me

It happened in a dream

He spoke of my reality

Not being what it seems

Within us lives a new world

This world, he calmly said

Will only be when evil and

All its sorrows are truly dead, whoa

When the sands of time are running out

(Spirit)

When the voice of oppression screams and shouts

(Spirit)

When all seems lost, you got to try

(Spirit)

To never let your spirit die

(Never let your spirit die)

You cannot accept deception

And real love will never lie

We must try to be the chosen few

And keep that love alive

(Keep that love alive)

Yeah, we will never be unfulfilled, no

And your deck will be full of aces

'Cause, whenever the spirit wills

We can go to higher places (oh-oh)

When the sands of time are running out

(Spirit)

When the voice of oppression screams and shouts

(Spirit)

When all seems lost, you got to try

(Spirit)

To never let your spirit die

(Hey, hey, yeah, yeah)

(Spirit)

(Hey, hey, yeah, yeah)

(Spirit)

You got to view this world

Through kaleidoscopic eyes

You got to see every color

If you want to see the reasons why

An angel came to greet me

It happened in a dream

He spoke of my reality

Not being what it seems

Within us lives the new world

This world, he calmly said

Will only be when evil and

All it’s sorrows are truly dead

Spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit, yeah!

When the time is running out

When the voice of oppression screams and shouts

(Spirit)

When all seems lost, you got to try

To never let your spirit die

Never, never, never, never

When the sands of time are running out

(Spirit)

When the voice of oppression screams and shouts

(Spirit)

When all seems lost, you got to try

(Spirit)

To never let your spirit die

When the sands of time are running out

(Spirit)

When the voice of oppression screams and shouts

(Spirit)

When all seems lost, you got to try

(Spirit)

To never let your spirit die

(Spirit)

Don’t ever give up
