Lyrics

[MOSES, spoken] I don't have a story anymore Just a stranger in a strange land [JETHRO, spoken] We all have a story, but not all of us know what it is (sung) A single thread in a tapestry Though its colour brightly shine Can never see its purpose In the pattern of the grand design And the stone that sits on the very top Of the mountain's mighty face Does it think it's more important Than the stones that form the base? So how can you see what your life is worth Or where your value lies? You can never see through the eyes of man You must look at your life Look at your life through Heaven's eyes [ENSEMBLE] Ai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Ai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai [ENSEMBLE & JETHRO] Ai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Ai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai [JETHRO] A lake of gold in the desert sand Is less than a cool fresh spring And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy Is greater than the richest king If a man lose everything he owns Has he truly lost his worth? Or is it the beginning Of a new and brighter birth? So how do you measure the worth of a man? In wealth or strength or size? In how much he gained or how much he gave? The answer will come The answer will come to him who tries To look at his life through Heaven's eyes And that's why we share all we have with you Though there's little to be found When all you've got is nothing There's a lot to go around (A lot to go around!) No life can escape being blown about By the winds of change and chance And though you never know all the steps You must learn to join the dance You must learn to join the dance [ENSEMBLE & JETHRO] Ai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-la-lai Ai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-la-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai [JETHRO] So how do you judge what a man is worth? By what he builds or buys? [JETHRO & ENSEMBLE] You can never see with your eyes on Earth Look through Heaven's eyes Look at your life, look at your life Look at your life through Heaven's eyes
