Gay Spirit

[Verse 1]
When we were born, they tried to cover our eyes
Then they tried to tell us all what to see
We are discoverin' that did not work
For we were born to be free

[Chorus]
It's a gay spirit singing in our hearts
Leading us through these troubled times
It's a gay spirit movin' 'round this land
Calling us to a time of open love

[Verse 2]
When we were born, they tried to put us all in a cage
Then tell our bodies what to feel
We had chosen to feel all the truth
That our bodiеs do reveal

[Chorus]
It's a gay spirit singing in our hearts
Lеading us through these troubled times
It's a gay spirit movin' 'round this land
Calling us to a time of open love

[Verse 3]
We are no strangers to all the pain
That comes with fighting for our love
We are the outlaws in a lovesick land
Whose crime has only been to care

[Chorus]
There's a gay spirit singing in our hearts
Leading us through these troubled times
It's a gay spirit movin' 'round this land
Calling us to a time of open love

[Verse 4]
You run and tell that old patriarch
We're no longer blind to his ways
You run and tell him that we've stolen all the keys
To the prison that he has made

[Chorus]
Tell him there's a gay spirit moving 'round this land
Leading us through these troubled times
A gay spirit singing in our hearts
Calling us to a time of open love

[Verse 5]
Sometimes it gets too hard to feel all the joy
In the face of all pain we see
But there's a healing place within our hearts
It's comin' alive in you and me

[Chorus]
There's a gay spirit singing in our hearts
Leading us through these troubled times
It's a gay spirit movin' 'round this land
Calling us to a time of open love

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
There's a gay spirit singing in our hearts
Leading us through these troubled times
It's a gay spirit movin' 'round this land
Calling us to a time of open love
It's a gay spirit singing in our hearts
Leading us through these troubled times
A gay spirit movin' 'round this land
Calling us to a time of open love
