Human Spirit Lyrics

The highest peaks could never leave us daunted

And these brains, they know no bounds

The heavens, boys. They're ours for the taking

That's the spirit! It walks this world, so nonchalant

Trudges along unstable grounds

It guards this prison of our own making

He said "I am not afraid to fail

You miss every shot not taken"

Pulled the trigger and blew off his toes

Humanity, oh sure it could prevail

But to leave that dove forsaken

Is to never find out where the olives grow

And I guess that goes to show

If flown in a branch from 'cross the sea

We'd snap it and get to weaving

Then should hope rear its ugly head

We could send it to hell in a hand basket

Out the plaster and into his mouth

His wife said "Let's go on vacation

You can lean on me. Don't need to bring a crutch."

Packed the car. A little further south

He left her at a service station

Never liked the taste of olives all that much

Nothing's ever good enough

If flown in a branch from 'cross the sea

We'd snap it and get to weaving

Then should hope rear its ugly head

We could send it to hell in a hand basket

We could be so blissful if we wanted

But the human spirit built the house just to haunt it

How we've grown to love the burn

The self-sabotage at every turn

They say we're only human

It's kind of how it's always been

His bachelor pad, it's got a bed and tv and a fridge almost empty

Just a bag that reads "dead dove: do not eat"

If flown in a branch from 'cross the sea

We'd snap it and get to weaving

Then should hope rear its ugly head

We could send it to hell in a hand basket

If flown in a branch from 'cross the sea

We'd snap it and get to weaving

Then should hope rear its ugly head

We could send it to hell in a hand basket

If flown in a branch from 'cross the sea

We'd snap it and get to weaving

Then should hope rear its ugly head

We could send it to hell in a hand basket

Send it to hell in a hand basket
