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 lake of gold in the desert sand

And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy

Is greater than the richest king
If a man lose ev'rything he owns

Has he truly lost his worth?
Cm
Or is it the beginning
F Cm F
Of a new and brighter birth?

In wealth or strength or size?

The answer will come to him who tries

To look at his life through heaven's eyes

Though there's little to be found

When all you've got is nothing

There's a lot to go around
G#
No life can escape being blown about

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

Lai-la-lai...

So how do you judge what a man is worth
By what he builds or buys?
