THE SPIRIT OF LOVE

MY SPIRIT SOARS,

AS FREE AS A BIRD,

COME DARK CLOUDS OR SUNSHINE

 MY VOICE MUST BE HEARD,

NO SHACKLES THAT BIND ME

FOR I WAS MADE FREE

TO TRAVERSE EVERY DOMAIN

AND IN MY SPIRIT TO FEEL

YES TO FEEL THE WIND

THAT IS UNDER MY WINGS

IT TAKES ME A DIRECTION

SO I COULD SEE THINGS

THE VIEW FROM ABOVE

WHEN LOOKING BELOW

IS SURELY SO DIFFERENT

THAT IT MAKES ME KNOW

THAT NOT ALL SEEMS TO BE

THE WAY THAT IT IS

ITS WHERE YOU LOOK FROM

THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

RISING ABOVE

 ALL CIRCUMSTANCES

REFUSING TO HATE

BUT LOVE EVERY INSTANT

KEEPS YOU FREE

YES FREE AS A BIRD

DID YOU GET THE MESSAGE

HAS MY VOICE BEEN HEARD?
