I'm chasin' 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 awayThere'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 againYou 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 shinin' again
It's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)
It's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)
It's shinin' againI remember the first day of man on the moon
The whole world was watchin' a whole world in tune
It was hard to believe he was the same
As me an' youOh, look back to the future and look down the years
It wasn't all battles an' bad news an' tears
We have brought to this place a desire
To have a dreamWe may reach for the stars
And fall from the sky
Oh, in the darkest hour
The spirit of man comes to life
It's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)
It's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)
It's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)
It's shinin' again
(Aaa)And we work, aha
For the good things that we can have
Yea, we work, aha
For the family and home
Yea, we work, aha
For the D-Mark and the Dollar
Yea, we work, ahaFor the woman on the phone
Yea we work, aha
(So hard)
For that moment of elation
Yea we work, aha
For a chance to get away
And we work, aha
Just to let imagination
Come inside and take me away
(Aaa)We may reach for the star
And fall from the sky
Ohh in the darkest hour
The spirit of man comes to lifeIt's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)
It's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)
It's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)
It's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)Zu bum bo
Zu bum bo
Zu bum boIt's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)
It's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)
It's shinin' again
(The spirit of man)
It's shinin' again
