Where the Spirit Resides

lyrics

WHERE THE SPIRIT RESIDES

It’s in the eyes of the mother lookin’ at her baby lookin’ back

It’s in the kisses of two lovers walking by a railroad tracks

It’s in the smile of the storekeeper makin’ up the lack

That’s where the spirit resides



It’s in the steps of the dancer dancin’ to an unheard tune

It’s in the young girl seein’ magic in the sprinkling of the moon

It’s in the voice that cries for justice, in the hand that tends the wound

That’s where the kingdom arrives



It’s in the petals of the rose, it’s in the muscled thigh

In the song in the throat of a bird, in icy deserts up on high

In the dreamy night of sorrow, and in the cry of why

That’s where the spirit resides



It’s in the one who asks forgiveness, in the one who offers it

In the last one to make trouble and in the first one to get hit

In the ones who reach across, absorb the loss, and never quit

That’s where the kingdom arrives



It’s in the calming voice of reason, it’s in the gentle hands

Of peace so hard to come by across these broken lands

It’s in the one whose thirst to know is equalled by the thirst to understand

That’s where the spirit resides



It’s in the ones who live a lifetime every single day

In the wonder of the innocent, in the ones who laugh and pray

And in the thousand unknown faces who save the world in a thousand unknown ways

That’s where the kingdom arrives
