Strong Hands Songtext
von Doll By Doll

Oh, see those strong hands
Touch hearts when they meet
Strong hands
Form circles and sleep
Cloves and whips and bruises and rings
They′re breaking the lifetime of love into greed

I've seen them with flags
I′ve seen them with flowers
I've put them in places
I've kissed them for hours

Seen them pull triggers
I′ve seen them plough earth
I′ve seen them in mourning
I've seen them in birth
Touching warm bodies
Stroking long hair


Eager and hungry
And dying to care
For the soul of a world
That we do not share

We′ve all seen those strong hands
Pleading for time
Strong hands
They're yours and they′re mine

You can see them teat as they move
See them tremble as sentences pass

Licking fire as they grip in the new

Electric and tender and moving so fast

They hold on to memories
They brush you aside
They slap you in panic
Explosion inside
I've seen them in anger
I′ve seen them in joy
I've seen them hold mirrors
I've seen them break toys
Touching warm bodies
Stroking long hair


Eager and hungry
And dying to care
For the soul of a world
That we do not share

Where are those strong hands
To show us the way?
Strong hands
To work and to play
Hands that will not throw
Our future away

Like the grip of the man in the flood
Final trip of the skater on ice
Hands that have value
And hands with a price
The snow is embroidered
With silence and blood

See them teat as they move
See them tremble as sentences pass
Licking fire as they grip in the new
Electric and tender and moving so fast
