Chris De Burgh - The Hands Of Man Lyrics






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 that gave his only son
And these are the wounds... of love

And we have crossed the oceans
We have followed the stars
We have learned to reason
And 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
And 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
'Cos 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
And 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
'Cos it's never too late
We can cross over bridges
We can open our hands
To a brand new world
We are man!

    "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 that gave his only son
    And these are the wounds... of love

    And we have crossed the oceans
    We have followed the stars
    We have learned to reason
    And 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
    And 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
    'Cos 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
    And 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
    'Cos it's never too late
    We can cross over bridges
    We can open our hands
    To a brand new world
    We are man!

    M.... B....

    If you listen very closely in the third verse, when Chris sings "yet there was one who gave his only son" and then after that people seem to think he sings "and these are the wounds of love" but he is actually singing "and his are the wounds of love" You people are getting it wrong.

  12. C.... P....

    ...We are far from perfect
    We are making mistakes
    We can change direction
    'Cos it's never too late
    We can cross over bridges
    We can open our hands...

    Wow! This fits my situation so perfectly! Just a few minutes ago I've found out that through what I said and did I hurt my younger sister alot and, furthermore, she hurts herself because she thinks that none loves her. But "We are making mistakes; We can change direction; 'Cos it's never too late"

    Thank you Jesus!!!

    C.... P....
