Carleen Anderson - True spirit lyrics

Shed a tear for the criminal, give him something to believe Light a fire for the miserable, give the darkness some meaning Closed wounds harbor pestilence, when you lick them from within Charity has a redolence, chastity cannot rescind Spirit shine, it's a sign of a tortured mind Spirit shine, all the time, can render you blind You can take it all to heart or throw it all away You can call it just a life or live your life that way You can give until you're dry and s**ed of all your gleam You can fake another cry and compromise your dream, yeah Cling tight to the parable, let it dominate your life Create a God who's infallible, give your leader some respite Closed wounds harbor pestilence, when you lick them from within Rosy smiles lose their radiance, when you take it on the chin Spirit shine, it's a sign of a troubled mind Spirit shine, all the time, can render you blind Spirit shine, it's a sign of a tortured mind Spirit shine, all the time, yeah can render you blind
