E A single thread in a tapestry D Through its color brightly shine Can never see its purpose E Bm E In the pattern of the grand design And the stone that sits on the very top D Of the mountain's mighty face Bm Does it think it's more important E Than the stones that form the base? A So how can you see what your life is worth Or where your value lies? C#m You can never see through the eyes of man G#m You must look at your life C#m E Look at your life through heaven's eyes E D E D E F D# F Lai-la-lai... F A lake of gold in the desert sand D# Is less than a cool fresh spring And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy F Cm F Is greater than the richest king If a man lose ev'rything he owns D# Has he truly lost his worth? Cm Or is it the beginning F Cm F Of a new and brighter birth? Bb So how do you measure the worth of a man In wealth or strength or size? Dm In how much he gained or how much he gave? C Am The answer will come Bb Dm The answer will come to him who tries Am D To look at his life through heaven's eyes Bb And that's why we share all we have with you Though there's little to be found C Dm When all you've got is nothing Bb C There's a lot to go around G# No life can escape being blown about Cm By the winds of change and chance Bb F And though you never know all the steps Bb C F C You must learn to join the dance D You must learn to join the dance D G F G F E D E Lai-la-lai... A So how do you judge what a man is worth By what he builds or buys? G#m F#m You can never see with your eyes on earth C#m E Look through heaven's eyes G#m Look at your life A Look at your life D E D E Look at your life through heaven's eyes
