|
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. |
