Spirit Lyrics by Sade

Smooth Operator - Single

1984

Let the spirit move me
Keep that coming to me
Feel that running through me
Gotta keep the faith

Let the spirit move me
Keep that coming to me
Feel that running through me
Gotta keep the faith

I've been away
It had to be a long time no see
Drifted around
Thousands of miles between you and me
But I'm coming home
You need the troops to hold me back
'Cause I found the strength
To turn my dream into a fire

Let the spirit move me
Keep that coming to me
Feel that running through me
Gotta keep the faith

Wanderers
City to city done gone
Impossible games
You have to play
To find some fun
But in the end
You find that faith to be yourself
When the spirit's with me
Hmmmmm
You need that faith ... nothing else

Let the spirit move me
Keep that coming to me
Feel that running through me
Gotta keep the faith

Spirit spirit spirit move me
Spirit spirit move me
Spirit spirit
You gotta let the spirit move you on and on
Spirit spirit
You gotta let the spirit move you on and on

Let the spirit move me (You gotta let the spirit move ...)
Keep that coming to me (Gotta keep that coming ...)
Feel that running through me (Feel that feel that feel that...)
Gotta keep the faith

Let the spirit move me(Gotta let the spirit move ...)
Keep that coming to me (Keep that coming ...)
Feel that running through me (Got to got to got to ...)
Gotta keep the faith

Let the spirit move me
Keep that coming to me
Feel that running through me
Gotta keep the faith

Let the spirit move me(You gotta let the spirit move ...)
Keep that coming to me (Gotta keep that coming ...)
Feel that running through me (Feel that feel that feel that...)
Gotta keep the faith

Let the spirit move me
Keep that coming to me
Feel that running through me
Gotta keep the faith

Let the spirit move me
Keep that coming to me
You got to let the spirit move you on and on
Gotta keep the faith
