      Lyrics

        16. Spirit

          I thought I'd found a reason to live
          Just like before when I was a child
          Only to find dreams made of sand
          Would just fall apart and slip through my hands
          But the spirit of life keeps us strong
          And the spirit of life is the will to carry on
          Adversity what have I done to you
          To cause this reclusive silence
          That has come between me and you
          And the spirit of life remains in light
          And the spirit of life remains inside
          I never thought it would be quite like this
          Living outside of mutual bliss
          But as long as the veins in our arm still stand up
          The spirit of life will keep living on
