As a wave across the land we are movin', movin'… 
This ain't no phase, the change these bodies make, and the way they are 
Facing forward, shoulder to the stone, telling of movin' it 
It takes one step, it takes your voice, singin 
"I am not hearing if you are not naming it 
I am not stopping if you are not changing it 
Here are my hands let's see what they're makin..." 

In the morning, in the rise up, there's a bridge from all that's been 
In the dawning, the vines are pushing through the pavement 
We were born of burning hearts 
We are tearing off the reigns 
From the ground up we will build it 
From the clouds above we'll rain it 
From the crowd up we will raise it 
From the ground up... 

You hold the spade to turn new soil 
For the coming grace, you hold the plans 
And no hands but our hands will lead our children 
And all that will feed you is a fierce prayer, is a fierce prayer, singin 
"I am not hearing if you are not saying it 
I am not stopping if you are not changing it 
Here are my hands let's see what they're makin.." 

(chorus) 

In this life we see so many things and 
Sometimes our hearts may start to bleed a bit 
But I choose this life I'm gonna lead and 
I must give my hands 
to make it...
