[Verse 1]
Caught up in the daily grind
Hard to find some peace of mind 'round here lately
Try to escape the beaten path
Don't need the wrath of the world
It just drives me crazy, ooh, crazy
Just something to look forward to alone with you
I still get lost in you, baby
It's always you, baby

[Chorus]
Desire that comes together, primitive animals
We've got something sacred
You've become my ritual
Our spirits feed each other
We never get our fill
Hungry for your sweet religion
You've become my ritual

[Verse 2]
When I'm with you, all time stands still
I find the will and pressure just doesn't phase me
You more than take my breath away
You captivate... we levitate... you amaze me
Ooh, baby

[Chorus]
Desire that comes together, primitive animals
We've got something sacred
You've become my ritual
Our spirits feed each other
We never get our fill
Hungry for your sweet religion
You've become my ritual
My ritual

[Bridge]
I want you, baby
Celebrate the love we found
You make my world go 'round
In your arms where I belong
Make sweet love all night long
All night long
You're all I see
Heaven's here with me
In this time alone
Set my spirit free
Free

[Chorus]
Desire that comes together, primitive animals
We've got something sacred
You've become my ritual
Our spirits feed each other
We never get our fill
Hungry for your sweet religion
You've become my ritual
My ritual

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
