Hands worked hard
Giving to hands they hold
All that they wanted and all that they need
This life of love
Given to those that breathe
A breath free from sacrifice and need
And what is to be said of the family, the man, the woman
Who gives their whole lives for their children
And what about them
A sympathetic symphony of working class regrets and dreams
Been forgotten so long ago
This is not to say that you are wasting you time, as you know it will go
A sympathetic symphony of working class regrets and dreams
A sympathetic symphony of working class regrets and dreams
Hands worked hard
Giving to the hands that they hold
And what is to be said of the family, the man, the woman
Hold tight as you help for the hope and hope for the helpful
And what is to be said of the family, the man, the woman
Who gives their whole lives for their children
