Gay Spirit Songtext
von Charlie Murphy

When we were born they tried to cover our eyes
Then they tried to tell us all what to see
We are discovering that did not work
For we were born to be free

There′s a gay spirit singing in our hearts
Leading us thru these troubled times
There's a gay spirit moving ′round this land
Calling us to a time of open love


When we were born they tried to put us in a cage
And tell our bodies what to feel
But we have chosen to feel all the truth
That our bodies do reveal

You run & tell those old patriarchs
We're no longer blind to their ways
Run & tell them we've stolen the keys
To the prison they have made

Sometimes it gets too hard to feel the joy
In the face of all the pain we see
But there′s a healing place within our hearts
It′s coming alive in you & me
