Lyrics

HANDS

I know we all look different, we come from different lands
We speak in ways we can't all understand
But we've got one thing in common, it goes way beyond the words
Simple gifts we're bringing to this world

Hands, reaching out...Hands lifting up
Welcoming eachother, open hands of love
Some hands pray to Jesus, some to Yahweh, some Allah
Showing up with these hands, doing the work of Love...
Strong hands, doing the work of Love

When the earth is shaking and the flood waters rise
In the middle of a life we hardly recognize
That's when we come together and guide eachother home
No one has to go through this alone

Hands, reaching out...Hands lifting up
Welcoming eachother, open hands of love
Some hands pray Namaste, some Om Namah Shivaya
Showing up with these hands, doing the work of Love...
Strong hands, doing the work of Love

Doin' the work, healin' the hurt
Ready or not, walkin' the talk
We're doin' our best, to just say "yes"
So here's the plan.....all join hands

Hands, reaching out...Hands lifting up
Welcoming eachother, open hands of love
Some hands pray to Mother Earth, celebrate the stars above
Showing up with these hands, doing the work of Love...
Strong hands, doing the work of Love

Hands, reaching out...Hands lifting up
Welcoming eachother, open hands of love
Some hands pray to Jesus, some to Yahweh, some Allah
Showing up with these hands, doing the work of Love...
Strong hands, doing the work of Love
