Your Spirit's Alive Lyrics
We are the ones who survive
This is the sound that brings us together
You are the one by our side
The shadow that stands by our side
This is the sound that keeps us together
You are the one by our side
You're off to the big rink in the sky
And the good Lord's between the pipes
And you've got Bavis and Ace on the wing
This song constantly brings me out of my consistant depresion. The song energysez me and makes me want to play more hockey also
The liner notes state: "This song was written in memory of our dear friend Greg "Chickenman" Riley.
When Greg passed away on 5-12-04 the Riley family was kind enough to let us take part in his funeral services and the band was asked to play after the funeral. The experience helped us deal with the grief we were experiencening and helped bring hte different generations of friends and family together through music. This song is about the experiences of that day and the pain of losing one of your best friends.
If you would like to make a donation in Chickenman's memory, please write to The Greg "Chickenman" Riley Foundation 12 St. Catherines Road Norwood, MA 02062
Also: "Roslindale native and C.M./B.U. hockey standout Mark Bavis and former Bruin great Ace Bailey were tragically killed aboard United Airlines flight 175 on Sept. 11, 2001
Please check out the Mark Bavis Leadership Foundation at www.markbavisleadershipfoundation.org"
This song introduces the best album since "Sing Loud, Sing Proud." It seems obvious that the band has been affected in many ways by the events of September 11th as well as the events that followed.
Keep 'em comin' DKM!
I know this song was written about Chickenman. But just listening to it brings back memorys of friends past and you just cant help but raise a glass or raise a voice to all those you have lost. And also I saw DKM perform this live and it is just amazing.
One of my favorite songs on Warrior's Code.
"We are the ones who will never be broken We are the ones who survive"
Simple, but fucking great.
this is possibly one of the most inspirational and uplifting songs you are ever likely to hear, brings back memories of friends past, and reminds everyone that theur spirit lives on, its a simple song, but that makes it no less awesome
