Two Free Hands

Ask her what she'd like to be And she stares at her hands Ten million years passing by in my mind The suspension in the arches of her feet The development of her spine That led her to stand With two free hands Two free hands And so many of these kids They are like seals on the land They feel the beauty of their movements in a sea That won't let them breathe And here she stands With her free hands With her two free hands With her two free hands With her two free hands With her two free hands With her two free hands With her two free Two free hands If I could be a biologist Not a careers counsellor I'd write the last wish of each species as it left the earth She doesn't want to do harm She doesn't need anything grand At the parent teacher evenings they never understand They wanna know her plans For her free hands For her free hands For her two free hands For her two free hands For her two free hands For her two free hands For her two free hands For her two free hands For her two free hands For her two free hands For her two free hands For her two free hands For her two free hands For her two free Two free Two free Hands
