We Can't Hold Hands When We're Pointing Fingers

about

Remixed version of "We Can't Hold Hands" from the album "The Hour Before the Dawn"

lyrics

I'm not patriotic so to speak
But borders don't mean much to me
Freedom don't mean much
When not everyone is free
So tonight I'll lay down
And try to sleep

I try to see things in different light
That's the only way I know how to live life
But a few of us don't know
How to live and let live
And that's what I'd
Consider sin

(chorus)
Sticks and Stones can break my bones
But words will always linger
You can't hold hands
When you're pointing fingers

There's a man who's different by his looks
He lives his life by a different book
They say he's not one of us
And that makes him a danger
Why should we have to tolerate
this stranger?

But I think you'd be surprised if you saw
Just how alike we all are
You shouldn't judge a book
By what is on its cover
You see, the stranger really is
A brother

chorus

Be it muslim, christian, pagan, atheist, or jew
And all the rest, we're all human too
Just set aside those things
We think makes us differ
I guaranteed you'll see
a bigger picture


Let's all gather up and form a ring
Around the whole wide world and sing
The song of planet Earth
The song that tells the tale
Of when the human race and love
Prevailed

chorus

(bridge)
We swear by peace and love to stand
Heart to heart and hand in hand
Mark, oh Spirit please hear us now
Confirming this our sacred vow

Peace, love, and blessed be
Peace, love, and blessed be
Peace, love, and blessed be
Peace, love, and blessed be
