Lyrics
Hand of Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's many an hour I've been thinking of our fate
Doomed it seemed to live in a world of fear and hate.
I thought about the good and the love there could be,
How fear can blind a man, how people are not free.
Hey, take my hand and come walk with me,
Brothers and sisters we all can be
From a spark in the dark from the hand of man
Peace and understanding spread through our land.
Take my hand and come walk with me,
Brothers and sisters we all can be
From a spark in the dark from the hand of man
Peace and understanding spread through our land.
I gazed into the sky and saw the rains come down
I saw the deadly poisons flowing to the ground.
The rivers and the oceans turned into a grave
All years of effort wasted there was nothing left to save.
Hey, take my hand and come walk with me,
Brothers and sisters we all can be;
From a spark in the dark from the hand of man
Peace and understanding spread through our land.
Take my hand and come walk with me,
Brothers and sisters we all can be;
From a spark in the dark from the hand of man
Peace and understanding spread through our land.
It's many an hour I've been thinking of our fate
Doomed it seemed to live in a world of fear and hate.
I thought about the good and the love there should be,
How fear can blind a man, how people are not free.
Hey, take my hand and come walk with me
Brothers and sisters we all can be;
From a spark in the dark from the hand of man
Peace and understanding spread through our land.
Take my hand and come walk with me
Brothers and sisters we all can be
From a spark in the dark from the hand of man
Peace and understanding spread through our land.
Hey, take my hand and come walk with me
Brothers and sisters we all can be
From a spark in the dark from the hand of man
Peace and understanding spread through our land.
Hey...
