I could go on and on about how much I love this song...

This song isn't only beautiful, it's great to dance 2. I know that "Open Book," which is another beautiful song was given to someone else I believe...

What happened to "SPIRIT," does anybody know?

I know that "Martika," had "Martika's Kitchen." Did she sing both of these songs also?

Yes, Spirit is on Martika's Kitchen. There are a couple of remixes of the song as well.

if a song is unreleased in the forest

is there anyone there to hear it?

Thank U...

Can Prince still do the song also? Or would Prince feel that that was uncool or something?

I really hope that Prince redoes this song for a record someday...

Tame said:

Prince can release the song any time he wants. He brought back Nothing Compares 2 U among others.

Yes, it on Martika's record....

there's also a circulating version with Prince's guide vocal. I used to have it, but I lost it.

Cool...Thanx Guyz.

it's okay. I like it and everything, but compared to the other stuff he did during those sessions (Love Thy Will Be Done, Open Book, even the title track), I've always thought Spirit was a bit lesser in comparison, though not as bad as Don't Say U Love Me

Speaking of other tracks...Last night I watch, "The Rookie," I think it is, with a little boy that plays baseball for the "Cubs," anyway, The boy plays and sings some of, "Uh-Huh," for "Diet Pepsi," in the movie. I said to my son, "Prince wrote that song," and He said..."Mom, why is everything Prince?"

Tame said:

did he give you shit about ripping up the Christmas present he gave you?

It was another son...Not my 17 year old. And He doesn't care...We are stronger people. He has Scicilian Blood.

Spirit

When the sands of time are running out
When the voice of oppression screams and shouts
When all seems lost U got 2 try
2 never let your spirit die
(Spirit)

An angel came 2 greet me
It happened in a dream
Spoke of my reality
Not being what it seems

Within us lives a new world
This world, he calmly said
Will only be when evil and all its sorrows are truly dead, oh

CHORUS:
When the sands of time are running out (Spirit)
When the voice of oppression screams and shouts (Spirit)
When all seems lost U got 2 try (Spirit)
2 never let your spirit die

(Never let your spirit die)

U cannot accept deception
And real love will never lie
We must try 2 be the chosen few
And keep that love alive
(Keep that love alive)

We will never be unfulfilled
Your deck will be full of aces
Whenever the spirit wills
We can go 2 higher places

CHORUS
(Yeah, yeah)

Spirit
(Yeah, yeah)
Spirit

U got 2 view this world
Through kaleidoscopic eyes
U got 2 see every color
If U want 2 see the reasons why

An angel came 2 greet me
It happened in a dream
He spoke of my reality
Not being what it seems
Within us lives a new world
This world, he calmly said
Will only be when evil and all its sorrows are truly dead

Spirit {x4}
Ohh!

When your time is running out (Spirit)
When the voice of oppression screams and shouts (Spirit)
When all seems lost U got 2 try (Spirit)
2 never let your spirit die
(Never) {x5}

CHORUS
(Spirit)

Whoa ohh ohh (Spirit) {x4}
Don't ever give up
(Spirit) {fade out}
