Great Spirits Lyrics

PHIL COLLINS – Great Spirits

When the earth was young and the air was sweet
And the mountains kissed the sky
In the far beyond with its mended hearts
Man and nature lived side by side

But great wisdom does not come without learning
And great vision not only with our eyes
So we can think that we see, truly see all around us
But when we look, do we see with open minds

Great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
The key to understanding
Is to see through others’ eyes
Find a way to help us see from all sides
Truly see from all sides

Teach our children to look deeper than the surface
And see the world through another’s eyes
For to be blind beyond yourself is to look but not seeing Knowing much is not enough to be wise

To see the wonder in all we’ve been given
In our world it’s not always as it seems
On the path that we choose, turn every corner
Follow on, for another begins

Great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
The key to understanding
Is to see through others’ eyes
Find a way to help us see from all sides
Truly see from all sides

Oh great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
The key to understanding
Is to see through others’ eyes
Find a way to help us see from all sides
Truly see from all sides
See from all sides
