             D#
We are in the ocean
Every kind of fish
                Cm
We are a human rainbow
                    D#
We are whatever we wish

We have been forever
And we shall always be
We can endure whatever
We are eternity

Chorus:
                   G#       A#     Cm
And the spirit of rock will never die
C#                      D#
Just like a rock in the ocean
In the spirit of rock we're flying high
Always high on emotion
The spirit of rock will never die
I swear, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

We've had nights so lonely
We've had our days of doubt
Some things we've learnt to live with
Some things we live without

We got no time for waiting
We got no sacred cows
For there is no tomorrow
There's only here and now

Chorus

Five days a week
Keep the spirit alive
Eight days a week
Forever Saturday night

Chorus
