'Only you can make my soul take flight' -Phantom of the opera

I really think that the word 'soul' is warmer than the word 'spirit'. It makes our bodies have a more 'lived-in' feel, don't you think? I wonder if there is a difference between the two words, since wikipedia defines spirit as 'The English word "spirit" comes from the Latin spiritus, meaning breath (see also Prana). In religion and spirituality, the respiration of the human being has for obvious reasons been strongly linked with the very occurrence of life.'

Soul, on the other hand, is defined as 'The soul, according to many religious and philosophical traditions, is a self aware ethereal substance particular to a unique living being. In these traditions the soul is thought to incorporate the inner essence in each living being, and to be the true basis for sentience. In distinction to spirit which may or may not be eternal, souls are usually (but not always as explained below) considered to be immortal and to pre-exist their incarnation in flesh. The concept of the soul has strong links with notions of an afterlife, but opinions may vary wildly, even within a given religion, as to what happens to the soul after death.'

Hmmm, that clears up alot of my queries, haz..
