I never had a reason
To regret the path I chose
I'm driven by changing seasons
The one thing that nobody knows

There were some compromises
Too late to reprimand
See through this worn disguise
I'll be wearing until the end

Look at the smile they painted on my face
Hiding the truth you know I'm far from grace
Turning the pages of the words I've said
But the passion will never be gone
The spirit goes on

I hope this will last forever
To be in this paradise
Subconsciously holds me together
I don't need no cold advice

There were some compromises
Too late to reprimand
See through this worn disguise
I'll be wearing until the end

Look at the smile they painted on my face
Hiding the truth you know I'm far from grace
Turning the pages of the words I've said
But the passion will never be gone
The spirit goes on

By the firelight I stare into the night
That looks down on me
And it's calling me to carry on this plight
Let the spirit fly away
I never had a reason
To regret the path I chose
I'm driven by changing seasons
The one thing that nobody knows

Too many compromises
I don't want to reprimand
More than a thin disguise
I'll be holding on till the end

Look at the smile they painted on my face
Hiding the truth you know I'm far from grace
Turning the pages of the words I've said
But the passion will never be gone no
Look at the smile they painted on my face
Hiding the truth you know I'm far from grace
Turning the pages of the words I've said
But the passion will never be gone
The spirit goes on
The spirit goes on
My spirit goes on
