The Spirit Of Man

I'm chasing a shadow, i can't see a thing,

It's dipping and diving like a bird on the wing,

And every time i get near it just seems to slip away;



There's a fighter inside who will never give up,

We are what we are and it's never enough,

Write the words in the sand that this man will come again;



You may run from the sea, and the words disappear,

Oh you may fall to your knees,

But the power is here, to survive;



It's shining again,

It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man;



Ah remember the first day of man on the moon,

The whole world was watching, a whole world in tune,

It was hard to believe he was the same as me and you;



Oh look back to the future and look down the years,

It wasn't all battles and bad news and tears,

We have brought to this place a desire to have a dream;



We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky,

Oh in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life;



It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man;



And we work - aha - for the good things that we can have,

Yea we work - aha - for the family and home,

Yea we work - aha - for the d-mark and the dollar,

Yea we work - aha - for the woman on the phone,

Yea we work - aha - for that moment of elation,

Yea we work - aha - for a chance to get away,

And we work - aha - just to let imagination,

Come inside and take me away;



We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky,

Ooh in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life;



It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man,

It's shining again - the spirit of man.
