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 shepard 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 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 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)
