Hand of Man |
I came from the east, was a pilgrim son |
Changed that faith for another one |
When you’ve mouths to feed you do what you can |
So I sold my soul to the railway man |
All hail the hand of man |
Gonna build whatever we can |
Gonna make us a holy land |
All hail the hand of man |
Spread out west with fingers of steel |
Hammers, picks, sparks from the wheels |
We raised up temples as fast as we could |
There is no evil and there is no good |
All hail the hand of man |
Gonna build whatever we can |
Gonna make us a holy land |
All hail the hand of man |
Go to sleep, forget your dreams |
We need need you bones for our machines |
Scrape the sky until we choke |
Pan for gold until we are broke |
We could forge a world that’s brave and new |
You’ll take from me and I’ll take from you |
All hail the hand of man |
Gonna build whatever we can |
Gonna make us a holy land |
All hail the hand of man |
All hail the hand of man |
Each of us at your command |
Not for us to understand |
All hail the hand of man |
