March - Hands Lyrics

Put your hands in our hands while we still can

Don't trivialise our outlook,
Though we don't feel equipped,
All we seek is that grain of truth,

Which you locked in your books,
Hid from a mother's look,
About that life you so brutally took

Why the torture?
Why all the lies?
We're all human, but you
Watched the hands of time,
Turning to fists, when instead you could:

Put your hands in our hands while we still can
Roll your sleeves up, work hard
And don't pretend
That this hatred will go if we count to ten
It takes so much love for it to end

Got our hands in your hands
Together we can
Bring those enemies close, turn them to friends
Because war breeds war d'you understand?
We just need the truth and won't relent

We've got our fates intertwined
Like it or not,
We are specimens of humankind

Might as well learn the skill
Join our purpose until
You're no longer poised for the kill

Clenching your hands,
Pointing fingers,
There's no us and them.
Free up your mind,
Open your eyes

And put your hands in our hands while we still can
Roll your sleeves up, work hard
And don't pretend
That this hatred will go if we count to ten
It takes so much love for it to end

Got our hands in your hands
Together we can
Bring those enemies close, turn them to friends
Because war breeds war d'you understand?
We just need the truth and won't relent
Clenching your hands,
Pointing fingers,
There's no us and them.
Free up your mind,
Open your eyes

And put your hands in our hands while we still can
Roll your sleeves up, work hard
And don't pretend

This hatred won't go if we count to ten
It takes so much love for it to end

Got our hands in your hands
Together we can
Bring those enemies close, turn them to friends
Because war breeds war d'you understand?
We just need the truth and won't relent

Put your hands in our hands while we still can
Put your hands in our hands while we still can
