The Hands of Man

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 who gave his only son And his are the wounds Of love And we have crossed the oceans, we have followed the stars We have learned to reason, 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, 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, 'cause 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, 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, 'cause it's never too late We can cross over bridges, we can open our hands To a brand-new world We are man
