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 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)
