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
