The spirit 's in it

I know it is in you, and it won't leave you alone
I'm talking about the spirit

The spirit's in it, and you can't fight it no more
The spirit's in it, and it won't let you go forth

So stop, stop a moment, I got a better idea
Let's talk it over, let's get together sometime

The spirit's in it, there's no place you can go
The spirit's in it, now you can't say you don't know

So wait, wait a second, let me suggest to you
We can do better, do better in time
We can do better in time

The spirit's in it, and you can't find it no more
The spirit's in it, it done opened and shut the door

So listen to me, people, get control of yourself
Let's get together and work things out

The spirit's in it, there's no need in you hidin'
The spirit's in it, can't you hear it testify? Yeah

Please wait, everybody, you're leaving me out
Let's get together and talk sometime

Spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit
Spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit
Spirit, spirit, spirit, spirit
Spirit, spirit
