The Spirit Of Man Chris De Burgh

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;
