The Spirit Lives - Third World

Yeah, the spirit lives

It’s living in the people

It can never, never, never, never

It can never die

Look at the flower over there-

Blooming in the warm, the warm fresh air

looks like the same flower to me That was here the same time last spring

Say the spirit lives

It’s living in the people

It keeps comin’back, comin’back and

It’s the same every time

Oh, Bob Marley he sang his song

He says we’re jamming all the way to Zion

I hear his voice, yes I do There’s no denying when I hear the truth-well

Everybody in here

Reach out and touch somebody’s hand,.

Say it loud, loud as you can

Then raise your hands in The air-everybody say yeah

Oh, the spirit lives

It’s living in the people and it can never die

Marcus Garvey, he lives on He told his people they’ve got to be strong

One God, one aim, one destiny

Let Marcus Garvey live in you and me — well —

Everybody in here-

Reach out and touch somebody’s hand-

Say it loud, loud as you can

Then raise your hands in the air

Everybody say yeah

Say the spirit lives

Say the spirit lives yeah

Said it’s living in the people

Can’t you see

It lives in you and me It lives in the tall oak tree-oh

Who do you know

That can make the lily white snow

Make the little teeny baby grow

Make that water flow

And with all these things that I have seen

Don’t you know I truly believe trat

The spirit lives

It’s living in the people

It will never die

It keeps comin’back and comin’back and comin’back

And it’s the same every time

Said you and me let the spirit set you free

Can’t you, can’t you see

Oh.

what it’s done for you and me…
