single thread in a tapestry 
Through its color brightly shine 
Can never see its purpose 
In the pattern of the grand design 

And the stone that sits on the very top 
Of the mountain's mighty face 
Does it think it's more important 
Than the stones that form the base? 

So how can you see what your life is worth 
Or where your value lies? 
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... 

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 
If a man lose ev'rything he owns 
Has he [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
The answer [bad word] 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 a lot 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... 

So how do you judge what a man is worth 
By what he builds or buys? 
You can never see with your eyes on earth 
Look through heaven's eyes 
Look at your life 
Look at your life 
Look at your life through heaven's eyes
