Lyrics with pictures
A single thread in a tapestry
/ Though its color brightly shine
/ Can never see its purpose
/ In a 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
/ La-la-la-la-la-la-la
/ La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
/ La, la-la-la-la-la-la
/ La-la-la-la-la-la
/ Lai-lai-lai, lai-lai-lai-lai
/ Lai-lai-lai, lai-lai-la
TZIPPORAH'S SISTER #1: Dance with me.
MOSES: No, I don't know how.
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
/ No life can escape being blown about
/ By the winds of change and chance
/ And though you never know all the steps
TZIPPORAH: Dance with me.
MOSES: No, I... No. No!
You must learn to join the dance
/ You must learn to join the dance
/ La-la-la Lee-lai-lai-lai
/ Lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai
/ Lai-lai-lai-lai, lee-lai-lai
/ Lai-lai-lai-lai, lai-lai-lai
/ Lai-lai-lai-lai, lee-lai-lai,
/ lai-lai-lai-lai, lai-lai-lai
/ Lai-lai-lai-lai, lee-lai-lai
/ Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai
/ Lai-lai-lai-lai, lee-lai-lai
/ Lai-lai-lai-lai, lai-lai-lai
/ Lai-lai-lai-lai, lee-lai-lai
/ Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai
/ So how do you judge what a man is worth
/ By what he builds or buys
/ You can never see with your eyes on earth
/ Look through heaven's eyes
Look at your life Look at your life through heaven's eyes NOTE: To watch the pictures in high resolution, click on them Watch original songs from The Prince of Egypt soundtrack |
