Strong hand goes sweeping, puts wood on the stove
Firm hand when writing a love letter
Knitting Hands Making Knots
Hands that pray, hands that give
Hands that ask for some future
Pa 'not die in solitude alas! Oh!
Old hand that works
Is linking some loom
Slave hand is learning
To dance your freedom
Hands kneading hunger
With what the earth gives them
Hands embracing hope
Of some son who is going away! Oh!
Hands of women
That they gave birth to the truth
Colorful hands applauding some singing
Hands that tremble, hands that sweat
Hands of land, corn and salt
Hands that touch leaving the soul
Hands of blood, wind and sea alas! Oh!
