I remember listening to this song as a teenager and thinking "that's so stupid. If a man can't produce anything then what IS worth?" Now, almost ten years later, after battling depression, existential crises and incurable illness, the latter leaving me an invalid for almost two years, I have finally come to understand this song's real message. Heaven values you for you, even when nobody else will. Whether you believe in God or not, seeing yourself as worthwhile and yours as a life worth living regardless of what others or society thinks is critical. If more people truly understood that, I suspect the world would be a much more wholesome place. Wow. Reading this, I just realized, I sound exactly like my parents. Go figure.
ah, hope you feel better! One of my fav TED talks on what life is about: meaning vs happiness ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y9Trdafp83U.html
May Christ embrace you in His infinite love - in suffering, we are that much closer to Him who suffered infinitely. So close, that Christ kisses you. May peace envelop you.

Even if your not religious, basically the song tells you to look at things in a way thats bigger than ourselves. Update: Basically "Small acts of kindness can mean a world of difference."
In the full context of the movie the song is Implying to look at life through God's eyes. Yes a different perspective but not someone else's but God's and how he sees the world and people.
Justin Clayton well I just look at it as look at the print that you left on the world. Ya know the good things that you’ve done and the people you’ve made happy.
MOVED ACCOUNTS GO TO Breezie Leaf I know! i would have love to see them make the stories of Noah, Abraham & Issac, David, Daniel. Well i guess mainly the prophets since that's what we are used to hearing from the Bible.
"So how do you judge what a man is worth?" "By what he builds or buys?" This is what I believe people now these days should ask themselves before judging others.
I judge people based on character. and sometimes you can tell people's character by what they can or can't build or buy. of course knowing the person definitely helps. Kind of ties into the problems that's going on right now. social justice warriors running rampid crippling anyone who has an advantage naturally over others. judging people by groups rather than the individual.
This song carries such a huge message. It basically says that you may think you are a small part in the world, or have no part at all (As most people think), but you wont know or find out unless you look at yourself through 'Heavens Eyes' (God's eyes.). I just love this song.
+celestialPilot Geez, you make a simple joke and then get called a dumb fuck for it. You are right about one thing; what they're doing isn't Christian at all. Or rather, if they claim they are, then they aren't representing Christianity well. I just want to apologize for these fools.
This has changed my life, I was on the brink of suicide until this, now I know to look at my life through heaven's eyes and do as God intended me to do, and that is live
Raiden 1018 Don't be foolish. You don't know anything pertaining to my future with absolute certainty. So don't say i'll make it through my depression, you have not the lightest of who I am or what i've been through, so again, do not be foolish.
Why is it that I burst into tears and clutch at my chest every time I hear this song? 😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😭 It’s like it renews my faith or strengthens it even more than what it already is. 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Perhaps because you are finally hearing that you just being you, is worth more then the richest king in the eyes of someone greater then ourselves. Your life matters and mean something whether you make a billion dollars or 5 dollars. Whether you invent something grand or just figure out how to make your life easier. You matter.
alex laxson Keep holding that attitude. Wont get you anywhere. And raising really? I mean you can tell the difference between good and right when you are 5 a 7 so yeah. We all make our own choices too. Geez what got you so negtive.
Undead Ladybug Well this song basically goes well with The Ultimate Gift. 12 small non-materal based gifts. One of which being the gift a job well done.
Religious Prime Well if they’re movies first and still teach you the lessons that religion teaches (looking at life through heaven’s eyes) and doing so without being insanely preachy, I’m sure an Atheist can enjoy a religious movie.
This song really opens my eyes. Sometimes if you look at yourself in the world's eyes you barely see your worth or reason. But having to look at your life through heavens eyes will make you realise that you have been looking at yourself the wrong way. There will people who will truly see and appreciate your worth and if they don't see it know that God does. Remember: to one lost sheep a shepherd is greater than the richest king.
I had just finished watching this movie a few days ago, and I'm a Wiccan, but this is a really good movie, and I support every notion this song has. I loved it, and I learned more about my fellow Christian, Catholic, Hebrew (etc.) brothers and sisters. We are all worth so much, and we make such a difference, no matter how small we seem. I love this song because of it's catchy tune and it's uplifting message.
You know, I'm a Catholic, and something I REAALLY admire about pagans is that they found something to sustain them from the darkness, or rather, the uncaring nature, of the universe Sure, the old gods are as likely to smite you as they are to help, but still that's SOMETHING.That's STILL a light, maybe not a nice one, but it's still something to hold onto as the darkness closes in all around you. the only thing is, that, despite all your trying, in the end they always go the the Underworld. Gennema. Hades. Whatever you feel like calling the Land Of The Dead( I try to shy away from calling it Hell Hell is damnation, whereas something like Asphodel is where mortals who have lived lives of no consequence go. the ONLY way to the Light, the true light, a light that we call light because that's the only thing our mortal minds can comprehend it as, is through Jesus, Emmanuel, the King of Glory who will come to reclaim what it is His. Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just laying out my beliefs and admiration for other cultures as well. If what I say touches you, fine, that's great. if not, that's okay, it's your choice to listen to me. Shalom, and Blessed be!
***** Also the scene when he's talking to God as the burning tree, that scene is so well animated, sound design is on point, the voicework is perfect. Such a powerful scene whether religious or not.
I'm not religious and you don't have to be to know this song has a great meaning! ^^ When you look through heaven's eyes it doesn't automatically mean god's eyes. You just look at the bigger picture and know that the little you do is worth much more than you can directly see! ^^
classyrainbowtoaster I used to be quite religious then I learned something in order to have a relationship with God you do not need to follow a religion but rather be the child he wants you to be be a good person and love all and try to give more then you take spread love these were the teachings of Jesus and if you really study the bible you will see Jesus denounced religion but loved God and that Is what we must do love not religion but rather God and the greatest love you can give to him is to be the child he created you to be
Don't let religion separate you from that which created you. Don't let ANYONE tell you how you must connect with your creator. Religion is basically spiritual bullying "believe what I believe or else" 🙄😏
This song contains wisdom. If you look at things from god's perspective and attitude, you'll become very happy and successful. But that won't be all it takes to be successful! You still need to work for it.
+jacob oyler how truthful. I'm trying to become an armorer and blade smith and all along the way i have people telling me what your saying. and they are right. i have to work for it, but when it comes, it will be an amazing thing
Though I feel it is possible to be happy (as well as kind, considerate etc) and successful without the help of God or anything? This is only from my personal perspective, as I have a secure job which I am happy in and outside of it I enjoy the little things as well as the big. I am also - I guess you could say - a fairly neutral person (or calm if that is a better word for it?), there is never really anything that makes me feel down in the dumps or ruins the rest of my day. I might get momentarily annoyed or something but then those feelings are gone. This may be because of my forgiving nature. Yes, people have asked me, "But what if something really bad does happen?". So what if something does? I have never felt totally affected by anything and I guess I'm pretty strong and independent - for example, a grandparent passing away when I was sixteen, I didn't cry or feel sad. I just thought, 'no more going down to see her'. I guess I understand that these things happen. This isn't to say I haven't got a heart - I care about people A LOT. But things just don't affect me the way they do other people. All I'm saying is, personally I feel you can do things without the seeing through the eyes of God. You can be good and helpful and kind and see the world in the best way without being a Christian. Though don't take this the wrong way, I have nothing against Christians! Some of my family are religious. After all, what is the world without religion?
Oh, wow. You took the words right of my mouth. Right before I read your comment I was showing this to my Mother, discussing how tremendous this would be! Brings uncontrollable tears to my eyes. Can you IMAGINE?!
I really feel Jethro, here. We've all known people who are precious to us, and think the world of them - yet they seem so down on themselves. I can only hope to be this eloquent, powerful and moving in my testament for these special ones.
This song will always give me goosebumps. The message is beautiful and empowering, and reminds us that we're all wonderful in someone's eyes (in my case, I am religious and I 100% believe God loves EVERYONE). I will not stop loving this song, or the movie. ❤
I'm not religious in the slightest, but I still think this song is very nice. Catchy, sends the message that there is something bigger for you, and from a very beautiful movie. Hey, an Atheist can like this ish for their own reason. Bite me.
TheKsalad Well, this song represents what religion SHOULD be used for. Not Isis, not the Taliban, not abortion bombings; but spreading goodwill and showing people they're better then they think they are. #I'manathiestbut.
Demetri Blackheart yea right btw taliban n isis is not religion.. religion measured by what it's book says... learn from every holly books is better to understand the religion....
Another story which I think Dream-works could and should've made a movie of would be David (the Shepherd-boy who killed the Nephilim- Philistine Goliath) and of course Jesus Christ. Though I fear they won't make those. :/ But time may tell things unseen. How can we know? By looking through Heaven's eyes!
I agree! I don't know if you know this but there are a lot of biblical movies even of David and Goliath! I use to have them all on tape (yes I know I'm old lol).
So I just came back from a birthright trip to Israel. And as I was heading down the snake trail of Masada, a woman going up the trail was playing this exact song! To hear that song playing in the holy land was so empowering.
My FAVVV part is when he says “ so how can you see what your life is worth or where your value lies you can never see through the eyes of man” so many of us try to get the love of man when our love as humans is fake the only real love is the love of God to us and so many people get carried away by others just to impress them because they never see their life’s thru God and never find their value 0:55
PatrioticEagle50 there is proof everywhere. look around you, the trees, the mountains,the seas, the beautifull landscapes. and also the universe all the stars and planets. this can only be done by God. you are the proof. the human is smart and can do so many things! inside the body of a human, if there is a sickness , your body will remove it, its incredible, all the organs are in place do there task. this can only be done by the almighty God. there is no way that evolution could have done this but u can have your own opinion of course.
Honestly, even as an atheist I love this song. We can’t always see our own worth because we can’t see how much we mean to others. We have to make the world better and dance the whole way and then we can look back and see how much we have done
Look at through Heaven’s eyes, my eyes will show you what I see good people Working hard together as one that’s what God is to me all of us together, building the base, the foundation, and working hard to get to the top one day will make it together. It’s God‘s journey through us Jesus amen.
Together we STAND.division is no option.if we must fall then,then we choose to dive head first,then it's no longer called "falling" but "skydiving"... technically it's no longer a fall.in that case we enjoy the ride down and watch God catch us before we crash.all for one and one for all.Gods got us therefore we just enjoy the ride,do our best, and love each other .most of all have faith.thats goes to the angels above as well as the fallen below.together we will rise once again to our rightful position,with our Father...THE MOST HIGH💨🏔️
because he probably didn't mean it but then you just HAD to point it out and make a big deal out of it and divert all the attention to that and that's just how I roll ^-^
Wth, you're the one who brought up the whole homophobic thing in the first place, geesh dude + I never said that atheists CAN'T be homophobic -same as religious ppl- and I might as well say that right back at you for using "gay" c:
Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not :l I don't know, you might as well call them ''homosexuals'' or something, not "gay" which has turned into an oppressing word, (probably used more than "faggot" now-a-days). And as I've been trying to say this whole time: He probably didn't mean to call ANYONE that in a bad way, yes, he used the wrong word but you don't have to pretty much jump him for it -"why do you have to use a slur, are you homophobic"- So can we let it go now? c:
Well it may not mention God specifically, but God is easily implied. By saying "through Heaven's eyes", you could just as easily be saying "through God's eyes". You know, since God is in Heaven after all. note: just making a statement here
@@theraiden1018 'Heavan' is located up in the sky right? It could be interpreted to just mean "look at things from a higher perspective/birds eye view'. If you look down from a plane or a tall building and things look a lot different than they do on the ground.
Um, is it just coincidence? Cause the line about "a Shepherd boy being greater than the richest king" thing. It struck me. David was a Shepherd boy before he became king. I just wanna ask if anyone thought about it too. 😅😂✌️
Brooke Jackson Ya know the dance that Moses shares with Tzaphorah(?) is actually very easy to learn and esy to share with others. Definitely easier than salsa or flamingo or tango
I am not religious, atheist neither. I'm just a spiritual person who don't follow any creed/sect, and I just like the art and the meaning of this song. Have a nice day pal :)
ShadowHunter Or you could just let people say what they want, as much as im sure youd like to control what people say you dont get to so get the fuck over it, and live your life and not other peoples. K!? Okay then ;)
@@BloodInTheStrawberries I don't see a point either. People should be able to enjoy music, and if Christians want to spread the Word via the comments section of this video, then we should let them!
I have a lot of Disney and Dreamwork songs..and David Bowie's songs that gets a person's heartbeat pump faster or blood pumping like crazy. I like songs that can people relate to themselves or can relate to me and then again I never get tired of them.
I never thought I would be singing and dancing to song based off a Bible story. I'm not religious but the message is strong and the song is catchy. #2016
At least you are open minded to the song and we all appreciate that. Some people just can't at least notice the beauty in songs instead of the technical stuff ya know?
dalton murphy Jesus loves you!! Have a blessed day give your life to him? Turn to him I did? Now am a child of God I was just baptized on September 10 2017. . and now there was another baptism yesterday now his a child of God too. Turn to God he will free you! Of your sins don’t wait any longer because time is running out on us we need to let others know? About his good news of Jesus. Our savior. He loves us all in wants us closer to him. Go to a church that’s call church of Christ. In hear his word. Romans 10:17 so faith comes from hearing that is hearing the good news about Christ. Mark 16:16 anyone who believes and is baptized will be save. Act 2:38. Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Act 8:37 and Philip said if you believe with all your heart, you may. And he answered and said I believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. John 3:5 I assure you no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and the spirit.
dalton murphy Matt 1: 18 This is how Jesus was born his mother Mary was engaged to be married but before the marriage to place while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. Matt 1:9 Joseph her fiancé was a good man and did not want to disgrace her publicly so he decided to break the engagement quietly 1:20 As he considered this an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream, Joseph son of David,” the angel said do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife for the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. 21. And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.
"And though you'll never know all the steps, you must learn to join the dance." I'm not religious at all but I grew up with this film and man, there's some art that is so good that it transcends it's meaning and is just spectacular art, this film, and especially it's score, is that for me.
'So how can you see what your life is worth or where your value lies? You can never see through the eyes of man' How the CC went--- 😂 'So how can you see when your life is worse for you when you never see me. You can't look at your life through Kevin's eyes' Wth? Kevin? 😂😂😂😂😂
❤❤💚💚💜💜💙💙❤❤💚💚💜💜💙💙❤❤💚💚💜💜💙💙💙!!!!!! I love this movie! Ever since i was a little girl. I would always dance in my living room to this song. I'm 20 now But when I hear this song, I just can't help by smile and move my shoulders. Its just Beautiful
@Jessica Danvers I think you may be missing the point. This song is for everyone. Just the sheer number of non-religious people posting here should show that. Anyways...I'm a Christian and I consider people of the Jewish faith to be my brothers and sisters as I do my fellow Christians. We're all God's people, just the same. =) In fact, that should really go for everyone. Humans are all pretty much the same, when you get down to the things that actually matter...and you know, that's exactly what this song is trying to say! No human is better or worse then the other, and only God is truly great. Don't get me wrong, I understand that the gross mistreatment of the Jewish people has been a reoccurring failure of society for far too long- I'm part German Jew myself -but its important to remember that those people did what they did because they DIDN'T understand or believe in concepts of basic human decency like this song is trying to teach. If anything, it's wonderful that it brings so many different people together. =)
don't forget the Muslims! I consider all of us to be cousins in the end because we have countless similarities -and absolutely love Jesus and Moses Peace Be Upon Them!
🎵A ssingle thread in a tapestry Though 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 mountains mighty face Does it think it's more important Than the stones that form the baaaaase? 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 .................La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai 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 kiiing If a man loses everything he owns Has he truly lost his worth? Or is it the beginning Of a new and brighter biiiiiirth? 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 triess To look at his life through heaven's eeeyes 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 aroooouund No life can escape being blown about By the winds of change and chance And though you never know all the steps (dance with me) You must learn to join the dance You must learn to join the daaaance6 Lai-le-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-le-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-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 eeeeyes Look at your life Look at your life Look at your life through heaven's eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyes🎵
+Wendy Denning Its also based on the actual story of the Exodus. Do you know the Salvation Plan of God, and Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior?
Did anyone begin to like just see themselves dancing or like doing a mini dance when like they're singing the part they're dancing in the movie?? But it's not anywhere near the dance in the movie but like idk a dance as if idk..... But yeah or no??? I know it dosent make sense but did y'all start dancing??
I have a group report on life and because of this video,I’m going to suggest it to my group about this awesome vid,hopefully my groupmates would agree and my teacher would like it
