Spirit

(album: What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits - 1974)

Freedom don't come easy, babe
When your spirit's flying up among the clouds
And when you're faced with the wise man's road
You gotta know where to go
Sun and the stars are a traveling man's companion
Leading the way for his journey
East and west, wherever you go, mm
Leading the way
The first to come
Showing the way for his children
Now it's up to you
Do you know you're pulling through
Man, it's not easy and you know it
Children in a happy place
They're always smiling
Showing all their love with no deception
Treating each other like brothers and sisters do, yeah, yeah
Children in a real good place, they're always trying
Jumping and playing in the middle of the afternoon
Just having a ball, don't worry at all, yeah

Leading the way
