The Hands of Man - Chris De Burgh

These are the hands that build cathedrals

These are the hands that feed the world

These are the hands that kill the ones we heal

These are the hands of man

These are the eyes that see the wonders

These are the eyes that greet the dawn

These are the eyes that see the glory of The place that is our home

These are the wounds that tell of anger

These are the wounds that speak of hate

Yet there was one that gave his only son

And these are the wounds… of love

And we have crossed the oceans

We have followed the stars

We have learned to reason

And we have studied the heart

We can build cathedrals

We are part of the plan

We have sailed the skies

For we are man!

These are the days to live forever

These are the days of the human race

For there will come a time when we’ll be gone

Gone without a trace

These are the dreams that take us forward

These are the dreams that walked the moon

These are the dreams that make us what we are

These are the dreams… of Man!

And we have crossed the oceans

We have followed the stars

We have learned to reason

And we have studied the heart

We can build cathedrals

We can sail the skies

We have energy hostage

Turning day into night

We are far from perfect

We are making mistakes

We can change direction

'Cos it’s never too late

We can cross over bridges

We can open our hands

To a brand new world

We are man!

And we have crossed the oceans

We have followed the stars

We have learned to reason

And we have studied the heart

We can build cathedrals

We can sail the skies

We have energy hostage

Turning day into night

We are far from perfect

We are making mistakes

We can change direction

'Cos it’s never too late

We can cross over bridges

We can open our hands

To a brand new world

We are man!
