Through Heaven's Eyes Lyrics
[ from Prince of Egypt Soundtrack ]
A single thread in a tapestry though its color brightly shines
can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design
and the stone that sits up on the very top of the mountain's mighty face
does it think that it's more important than the stones that forms the base
So how can you see what your life is worth or where your value lies
ohhhh, you can never see through the eyes of man
you must look at your life look at your life through heaven's eyes
lai-la-lai...through heaven's eyes(2X)
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
should 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 to ya to look at his life through heaven's eyes
lai-la-lai...through heaven's eyes(2X)
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 lots 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
lai-la-lai...through heaven's eyes (repeat until fade)
