[00:00.00]I'm chasing a shadow, I can't see a thing,
[00:06.65]It's dipping and diving like a bird on the wing,
[00:11.83]And every time I get near it just seems to slip away;
[00:18.66]There's a fighter inside who will never give up,
[00:23.78]We are what we are and it's never enough,
[00:29.07]Write the words in the sand that this man will come again;
[00:35.32]You may run from the sea, and the words disappear,
[00:43.08]Oh you may fall to your knees,
[00:47.38]But the power is here, to survive;
[00:52.55]It's shining again,
[00:56.55]It's shining again - the spirit of man,
[01:00.67]It's shining again - the spirit of man;
[01:05.81]Ah remember the first day of man on the moon,
[01:11.23]The whole world was watching, a whole world in tune,
[01:16.82]It was hard to believe he was the same as me and you;
[01:22.95]Oh look back to the future and look down the years,
[01:28.48]It wasn't all battles and bad news and tears,
[01:33.78]We have brought to this place a desire to have a dream;
[01:40.06]We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky,
[01:47.45]Oh in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life;
[01:53.30]It's shining again - the spirit of man,
[01:57.44]It's shining again - the spirit of man,
[02:01.46]It's shining again - the spirit of man;
[02:06.90]And we work - aha - for the good things that we can have,
[02:11.96]Yea we work - aha - for the family and home,
[02:17.06]Yea we work - aha - for the D-Mark and the dollar,
[02:22.18]Yea we work - aha - for the woman on the phone,
[02:27.24]Yea we work - aha - for that moment of elation,
[02:32.40]Yea we work - aha - for a chance to get away,
[02:37.47]And we work - aha - just to let imagination,
[02:42.50]Come inside and take me away;
[02:47.78]We may reach for the stars, and fall from the sky,
[02:55.10]Ooh in the darkest hour the spirit of man comes to life;
[03:01.07]It's shining again - the spirit of man,
[03:05.15]It's shining again - the spirit of man,
[03:09.19]It's shining again - the spirit of man.
