Well it chewed us up and spat us out Stumbling into daylight And we learned what dreams are all about Let us not pretend I swallowed everything you said A constant stream of poison And the blindest visions filled my head Rejoicing in the dark
And when my spirit flies I still touch the stars And when my spirit flies I know it won't last
Well I've drowned in every shade of blue Now I know that it's all over And there's nothing I can say or do To rearrange the past For one brief moment in that time We caught a glimpse of freedom And I will be dissatisfied Until I'm there again
And when my spirit flies I still touch the stars And when my spirit flies I know it won't last
Step outside you can almost see an Alaskan sunrise Like a veil it will lift your consciousness over again There were times when I lost all touch with the world and its sorrows In the end only doubt and wasted emotion remain Well it chewed us up and spat us out Stumbling into daylight And we learned what dreams are all about Let us not pretend
And when my spirit flies I still touch the stars And when my spirit flies I know it won't last
