A little spirit with a sign
And a nightmare rolled all in one
He was a spirit of the times
You know he had an inside edge
And he saw to many truths
But he gave his life up to Love instead
Coz there was nothing left to lose
And he always gave the best of what he got
Because there was nothing else he could choose
And he lived his life upon that thread
And never sang the blues
And he saw it all in humanity
And he spread that Love from sea to sea
Coz he was just doing what he was born to be
A showman for us all
An inspiration for a life
Of Love lived in the finest way
The gift of his talent that he loved to gave away
With the most beautiful voice and poignant phrase
He was the best of spirits all
