Spirit

Tonight I could be with you
Or waiting in the wings
Lift your heart with soaring song
Cut down the puppet strings
Cut down the puppet stringsI wear a coat of drums
And dance upon your eyes
Turn the tables upside down
Change the lows to highs
Change the lows to highsI fill you up with butterflies
Crown the heads of kings
Be glad of first night nerves
For fear gives courage wings
Fear gives courage wingsIf I am on the sidelines
Chances are youll miss
Wait alone and spotlit
For doctor theaters kissThe stage becomes a ship in flames
I tie you to the mast
Throw your body overboard
The spotlight doesnt last
The spotlight doesnt lastI could be with you
Or waiting in the wings
Lift your heart with soaring song
Cut down the puppet strings
Cut down the puppet stringsI may tap you on the shoulder
And whisper, "Go" in red
Strip your feet of lead my friend
Strip your feet of leadCall the curtain, raise the roof
Spirits on tonight
Call the curtain, raise the roof
Spirits on tonightCall the curtain, raise the roof
Spirits on tonight
Call the curtain, raise the roof
Spirits on tonightWe love our audience
We love our audience
We love our audience
