Am
Great spirit, I have had it

Way of weaving through damage
C E
Mindful stay mindful

Let me be a flowing river
F
Flood the banks the rocks that bind her
C E
Carry Ill carry
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Am
Great spirit for my brother
Em
Let me be a mountain under
F
Which he climbs to discover
C E
His process now that's progress

Tie reminders to my fingers
F
I must speak with you more
C E
often Mmmm
[Chorus]
Am Em
Great, great spirit...Oh oh oh oh

Am
Great spirit the stone collapse
Em
Nothing but the earth will last

And i'll be singing sweetly to the
C E
Darkness Now hark this
Am
Great spirit on my tongue
Em
Be still, be still, the time will come
F
When everyone will sing, all life is
C E
Sacred, While i'm waiting
Am
Great spirit my fist is up
Em
Bringing the power to the people, your reflection of us
F
Some of your people cant hear it, The cries of the earth
C E
Some of your people can't feel it, The way that it hurts
Am
And it hurts great spirit
Em
And it moves great spirit
F
Interconnected in the wreckage of a
C E
Paradigm on its way out, way out...
Am
Speaking of spiritual lyrical testimony
Em
The spirit that did resist, Weaving around false prophecies
F
Spirit directed and selective, With the message I bring
C E
While the ship slowly sinks, Ive been directed to sing
Am
I'm like a wrecking ball, Breaking down the walls of the past
Em
A minimalist living on bliss,With the last of my cash
F
You're gonna be justified, With how you treated the land
C
You're gonna be by my side
E
When I stand and demand
Am
A change
