Spirit 2.0 by Sampha

 Who needs to sit in a palace when he already sits contently in God's good grace? 

Luke Kemp (paraphrased) 

Waves will catch you 

Light will catch you 

Love will catch you 

Spirit gon' catch you, 

Flashes capture us


Lyin’ in reflections

Moonlight hits your skin

Safe in conversation

You question where I've been

Two bodies on this mattress 

Save me as it sinks 

Automatic self-protection

Like airbags in my limbs


Next thing I'm drifting into open sky

And I don’t feel so scared

Dreamin' with these open eyes

I'm grabbin' at the air


Time will catch you, flash will capture us

Travelling for hеaling

I been speaking, I had to speak to myself

How far will I go?

Spirit, spirit, yeah

Still wear that chain you gave me

That eagle made of gold


And now I'm driftin' into open skies (Yeah)

I ain’t scared as before, ain’t as scared as before


Like, is anybody out there?

Like signals, messages, everything

(Spirit gon' catch you)


Just like Jonathan Livingston Seagull 

Try catch the clouds as I free fall 

I was caught by the wings of my people 

Then you pick me up in your two-door 

Hit the country roads, peaceful 

Can you fill me in with the info 

Stock was risin' like tenfold 

But you're more concerned for my mental 

Shutting down is your default 

Circling for a cheat code 

Sun is out and it feels cold 

Camera zoom on the eagle 

Find a bench and we recall 

Memories through a peephole 

Reconnect with the real goal 

Camera zoom on my people
