Spirit Of Man

by Riki Buckingham

/

about

Spirit of Man is a epic 15-minute, 70's classic rock-inspired piece.
Featuring soaring lead guitar solos, Hammond organ and powerful vocals themed around the need for humanity to fight for the truth and spirit, bringing in the fires of change to this modern age we find ourselves in.

No longer will the spirit be dissipated, with a calling to the male to step into his power and calling the spirit of woman to bring out her innate gifts and teach us how to live in right relationship and respect for all life.

The message is so clear, follow your dreams and you'll never lose your way 🙂
This song will be shared to some niche blogs and played on a couple of radio stations that feature long songs

Available on Spotify first and other places soon

lyrics

(VERSE)

Well, spirit of man has taken a fall
Right now I see through the illusions of it all

And a brand new way
I gotta tel ya now
Well spirit of man
Time to make a stand

(CHORUS)

The message is so clear
Follow your dreams and you'll never lose your way
I gotta tell ya now

All I know is that your life will never stay the same
So send a message deep inside my soul
It's time to realign and get back on the flow

(CHORUS 2)

(solo)

Come on fight on now!

Now I said the powers in the hands of the people once again
Whove got what it takes to change the path and re-align
Oh yeah!
I said now
Time is now while spirit is drawing near
Time to look through the dark night of the soul
Will you fight for your freedom?
We ain't got time for fooling around oh no

(Hammond)

I said the powers in the hands
Of the people of this land
Who cherish what we have
With a cup of life
Restore this broken world
Make a better place for the people to dwell

I said the choices we make
Can either lead us to hell
Or take us back into the light

Spirit of man
Spirit of man we need your light!

Will you fight for your freedom?
Have you got what it takes to stand tall in the face of darkness
Send a message to my soul that its time to rise
No fooling around.

(solo)

Fight for your freedom 💪

(SPIRIT OF WOMAN)

Spirit of woman I said we need your light
So that the darkness won't drag us down
Spirit of woman hold on tight
We need you to finally rise

I said spirit of Woman
Release the fears now
For generations to come
To have a future now

Teach us to live with respect upon this land
Spirit of woman
I said we need your light
Guide us through the darkened night

I said the message is so clear
Don't let us lose our way
Not now!

Can't you see now
What we've got is priceless indeed
So spirit of woman come and brighten up this world
We need your light

(Solo)

Spirit of woman
Your light so beautiful indeed

Spirit of woman yeah

She needs your grace

Spirit of woman

(QUIET improv)

And when our life is done
When we turn to dust
What is it that we have learn't
When all is said and done
Tell me what remains
What remains

So spirit of woman
Will you stand by my side
Even through the dark night
Spirit of woman
What we've got is worth fighting for
Worth fighting for

(BUILD UP)

Spirit of man we need your light!
We need your light all over this world!

The fires will burn
Keep on burning strong
