Cast That Spirit Away

**(Verse 1)** Talkin' to a friend today, she's in a bad way Gettin' calls all through the night Old spirits wanna cause a fight It's the push and pull of life Directed thoughts you think are light They talk and say what to do Only thing is—those thoughts are not you **(Pre-Chorus)** Lashin' out to make the past alive Spreadin' worry and strife and continuous lies Just restless spirits, spirits of confusion Tryna cause havoc and shame Tryna find a place to put the blame **(Chorus)** I won't have it, no way, no how I won't have it—I cast that spirit away now That spirit has lost its way Gonna lash out at you every day But I call the power, I keep pushin' it down Not for the weary—that sucker is goin' down **(Verse 2)** Now rest for the best, always up for a test Test me if you want, test my will to move on I bet you won't like it, no not at all Not gonna like it—hurts when you fall I am the holder, I am the one The peace that remains when the battle is done **(Bridge)** I hold space for you, a dome of gold A story the ancients told These spirits feed on fear and doubt But they can't stay where love is shouted out I speak it now—be gone, depart You have no place in this heart **(Chorus)** I won't have it, no way, no how I won't have it—I cast that spirit away now That spirit has lost its way Gonna lash out at you every day But I call the power, I keep pushin' it down Not for the weary—that sucker is goin' down **(Outro)** Rest for the best, my friend This war is near its end You are life, you are light You are the one who knows her might I walk beside you in the crowd Grateful, laughing, fierce, unbowed Cast that spirit—watch it fall We rise together, standin' tall I won't have it No way, no how I won't have it I cast it now
