MacDonald wrote “Human Spirit” about her empathy with the 33 miners who were trapped in a mine in Chile in 2011.
[Verse 1]
The world kept moving, you stood still
Caught in a moment against your will
And I'll think of you tonight
The world kept going and nobody could see
The hell that was happening too hard to believe
And I shed a tear for you
[Chorus]
No matter how many bombs we've dropped
No matter how many wars we've fought
It's good to see that it's not dead
Human spirit is alive and well

[Chorus]
No matter how many bombs we've dropped
No matter how many wars we've fought
It's good to see that it's not dead
Human spirit is alive and well
Human spirit is alive and well
Human spirit is alive and well
