Chris de Burgh - 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 ish ere 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
