Through Heaven’s Eyes Lyrics by The Prince of Egypt Musical

2020

[MOSES] (spoken)
I don't have a story anymore. Just a stranger in a strange land.
[JETHRO]
We all have a story, but not all of us know what it is.
[JETHRO] (sung)
A SINGLE THREAD IN A TAPESTRY
THOUGH ITS COLOUR 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
[ENSEMBLE (Midianites)]
AI-LAI-LAI, LAI-LE-LAI-LAI
AI-LAI-LAI, LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI
LAI-LE-LAI-LAI
LAI-LE-LAI-LAI
[ENSEMBLE (Midianites), & JETHRO]
AI-LAI-LAI, LAI-LE-LAI-LAI
AI-LAI-LAI, LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI
LAI-LE-LAI-LAI
LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI
[JETHRO]
A 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 LOSES 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
THE ANSWER WILL COME TO HIM WHO TRIES
TO LOOK AT HIS LIFE THROUGH HEAVEN'S EYES
[JETHRO, & (ENSEMBLE, Midianites)]
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 (A LOT TO GO AROUND!)
[JETHRO]
NO LIFE CAN ESCAPE BEING BLOWN ABOUT
BY THE WINDS OF CHANGE AND CHANCE
AND THOUGH YOU NEVE KNOW ALL THE STEPS
YOU MUST LEARN TO JOIN THE DANCE
YOU MUST LEARN TO JOIN THE DANCE...
[ENSEMBLE (Midianites), & JETHRO]
AI-LAI-LAI, LAI-LE-LAI-LAI
LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI, LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI
LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI, LAI-LE-LAI-LAI
LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI-LA-LAI
AI-LAI-LAI, LAI-LE-LAI-LAI
LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI, LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI
LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI, LAI-LE-LAI-LAI
LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI-LA-LAI
LAI-LE-LAI-LAI, LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI
LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI, LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI
LAI-LE-LAI-LAI
LAI-LAI-LAI-LAI
[JETHRO]
SO HOW DO YOU JUDGE WHAT A MAN IS WORTH?
BY WHAT HE BUILDS OR BUYS?
[JETHRO, & (ENSEMBLE, Midianites)]
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
