Johnny Clegg & Savuka - Spirit is the Journey lyrics

rate me

Ploughed the moon reached an island

Balanced on the edge of the sky

But something always stayed the same

Deep down inside

No matter where I've been the places don't count

Summer in a mountain town

No matter where I've been the places don't count

And I feel let down

'Cause nobody told me

Spirit is the journey

Body is the bus

I am the driver

From dust to dust

Spirit is a story

Body is a book

I am the writer

Together we flow

We hold on, and when the story ends

We hold on, until it begins again

We hold on, we hold on...

I never knew I had one

Till I saw yours shine

Spilling from your laughter

Sparkling in your eyes

Sharing my confusion, sharing my surprise

At finding part of me in you, alive

'Cause nobody told me

Spirit is the journey

Body is the bus

I am the driver

From dust to dust

Trying to be near you

Searching for a way

Listening to your life song

Before it fades away

We hold on, and when the story ends

We hold on, we hold on.

Spirit is the journey

Body is the bus

I am the driver from dust to dust

Now I'm falling, falling away

I hear you calling, calling my name

Spirit move on, move on

Pass my eyes on, on to the next one

I will be long gone, long gone

Across the distance, this divide

I will be with you forever

Till you reach the other side

So hold on, sing this life song

Sing "hold on, hold on, hold on

Hold on!"
