What are these white doves doing in the city Are they lost looking for meaning Flying so pretty in this cold dark city Inspire me Inspire me In spite of all that we've been through In light of all that shines through me Shine through me, and never leave me Inspire me, Inspire me You cry when your wind blows And you're down and out The fire starts when your moon shines And you shout out loud When the drive is gone And the passions die And i can hardly breathe () Inspire me Inspire me I put my hands in my pocket and I hand him a dollar Are my actions wise are they too hard to swallow Where are the righteous men that we used to follow Are my actions random and are they kind I can't see the reaction Is my faith blind Does my blind faith mind Inspire me Inspire me You cry when your wind blows And you're down and out The fire starts when your moon shines And you shout out loud When the drive is gone And the passions die And i can hardly breathe () What inspires me the most is a nine to five You know as well as I do it ain't easy to provide Now wont you tell me wont you boast Because I've paid my fines I'm no longer overdue and I've got my peace of mind ()
