Lyrics

A SPIRITUAL HUNGER

Music and Lyric by McKinley Williams

Acting out dramas with mystery scripts
Don't get discouraged
you'll get used to it
We are the children who got this gift
of a long and winding road
Where it ends only "heaven knows"
Stay in tune, stay in touch with it
Don't complain, just get on with it...

With this spiritual hunger
Yearning for love that we want
and needfrom each other
we've got a spiritual hunger
It's a spiritual hunger
we can't break this ageless spell that we're under
we've got a spiritual hunger

Keep climbing mountains, don't ever stop
'Cause if you keep winding
you'll reach the top...
but you've got too keep choosing
It's everyone's earthly role
as these cosmic roads unfold
It's your turn to master it
tell me what will you do with it?

With this spiritual hunger...
Searching for signs of love from our sisters and brothers
We've got a spiritual hunger
It's a spiritual hunger
we can't break this ageless spell that we're under,
we've got a spiritual hunger

BRIDGE:
It walks in the streets
Aloof, indiscreet
Behind every smile
It's the latest new style
No where to run, no place to hide from it
And right now it's all we can do
to try our best to survive with it...

With this spiritual hunger
Who can explain this ageless spell that we're under?
We've got a spiritual hunger!
It's a spiritual hunger
Pushed and pulled by
this indescribable thunder
we've got a spiritual hunger

When you enter the race
there's no escape
from this spiritual hunger
