Spirit Of Us All

Beyond the valley mist the wolves howl
By the bay as the moon dawns on the horizon
Stars cascade across the heavens
Mirrored reflections of the soul of humanity
Fresh in the minds of man like the beacons in the heavens

Long lost thoughts of yesterday quicken like the sands of time
Confusion and illusion
Reflect the stories of human pain and suffering
But like the eagle the human spirit shall rise in the moonlight
To battle adversity in the cold light of day
Where the hearts of the wicked shall be turned to stone
By the spirit of mans innocence

The stillness of the body, The sounds of broken waves
Cold mist consumes a shoreline as mankind release their bonds
As the dust scatters upon the winds of time
Humanity will rise again to take shelter from the pouring rains
For the spirit can be broken if the heart is turned to stone

But for the spirit of man can be broken then rise up again
To meet the challenge of adversity and the deliverance of pain
Soaring like an eagle across the heavens is the spirit of us all
A world of many nations drifting across the evening sky
