Chris De Burgh - The Spirit Of Man lyrics

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)

It's shining again

I 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)

It's shining again

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

(Yeah, we work, aha) for the family and home

(Yeah, we work, aha) for the D-Mark and the dollar

(Yeah, we work, aha) for the woman on the phone

(Yeah, we work, aha) for that moment of elation

(Yeah, 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

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)

It's shining again (the spirit of man)

It's shining again (the spirit of man)

It's shining again (the spirit of man)

It's shining again (the spirit of man)
