lyrics

THE SPIRIT IS WILLING (© DC Cardwell)

When I step into the hall
I know I should kiss you all
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

When you try to talk to me
I'm not how I'm supposed to be
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

CHORUS
Part of me is open wide
Part of me I try to hide
Part of me's asleep inside
But part of me can't be denied - oh oh

Standing on my feet all day
Earning someone else's pay
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

My head is spinning and my soul is dull
Stomach's empty, brain is full
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

REPEAT CHORUS

SOLO

Standing on my feet all day
Earning someone else's pay
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
