Beyonce – ‘Spirit’ Music Video & Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah and the wind is talking
Yeah, yeah for the very first time
With a melody that pulls you towards it
Painting pictures of paradise
[Pre-Chorus]
Saying rise up to the light in the sky, yeah
Watch the light lift your heart up
Burn your flame through the night
[Chorus]
Woah, spirit
Watch the heavens open, yeah
Spirit, can you hear it calling? Yeah
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah and the waters crashing
Trying to keep your head up high
While you’re trembling, that’s when the magic happens
And the stars gather by, by your side
[Pre-Chorus]
Saying rise up to the light in the sky, yeah
Let the light lift your heart up
Burn your flame through the night
[Chorus]
Yeah, spirit
Watch the heavens open, yeah
Spirit, can you hear it calling? Yeah
[Bridge]
Your destiny is coming close
Stand up and fight
So go into that far off land
And be one with the great I am, I am
A boy becomes a man
[Chorus]
Woah, spirit
Watch the heavens open, yeah
Spirit, can you hear it calling? Yeah
Spirit, watch the heavens open, open, yeah
Spirit, spirit, can you hear it calling? Yeah
[Outro]
Your destiny is coming close, stand up and fight
So go into a far off land and be one with the great I am
