     D#
The world kept moving and you stood still
 Cm
Caught in a moment against your will
       G#         A#  D#
And I think of you tonight

The world kept going and nobody could see
The hell that was happening too hard to believe
And I shed a tear for you

Chorus:
G#
No matter how many bombs we've dropped
A#
No matter how many wars we've fought
      D#              G/B      Cm
It's good to see that it's not dead
        G#  A#             D#
Human spirit is alive and well

The people couldn't get it, they said it wasn't true
How could this happen, happen to you
But we'll try our best be home for Christmas

And all the while we're still thinking 'bout ourselves
Worrying about money and stressing about wealth
But there's much more, much more to live for

Chorus

Human spirit is alive and well
Human spirit is alive and well
