The Spirit of Man
I'm chasing a shadow, I can't see a thingIt's dipping and diving like a bird on the wingAnd every time I get near it just seems to slip awayThere's a fighter inside who will never give upWe are what we are and it's never enoughWrite the words in the sand that this man will come again
You may run from the sea, and the words disappearOh, you may fall to your kneesBut the power is here, to survive
It's shining againIt's shining again - the spirit of manIt's shining again - the spirit of manIt's shining again
Ah, remember the first day of man on the moonThe whole world was watching, a whole world in tuneIt was hard to believe he was the same as me and youOh, look back to the future and look down the yearsIt wasn't all battles and bad news and tearsWe have brought to this place a desire to have a dream
We may reach for the stars, and fall from the skyOh, in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life
It's shining again - the spirit of manIt's shining again - the spirit of manIt's shining again - the spirit of manIt's shining again
And we work, aha, for the good things that we can haveYeah we work, aha, for the family and homeYeah we work, aha, for the D-Mark and the dollarYeah we work, aha, for the woman on the phoneYeah we work (so hard), aha, for that moment of elationYeah we work, aha, for a chance to get awayAnd we work, aha, just to let imaginationCome inside and take me away
We may reach for the stars, and fall from the skyOh, in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life
It's shining again - the spirit of manIt's shining again - the spirit of manIt's shining again - the spirit of manIt's shining again - the spirit of man
(We work, we work, we work)
It's shining again - the spirit of manIt's shining again - the spirit of manIt's shining again - the spirit of manIt's shining again
