Hands Up

by Justin Lacroix

Everybody put your hands up
can you hear me
we have no need for them today
we have no need for them today
Everybody put your palms out
can you see me
would somebody please show me
where the differences are in the creases

do you wanna sit back and rock
with nothin’ but a stone rollin’ round in your heart
built up from years of strain
with nothin’ to show

the rain keeps pourin’ down
you’re lyin’ with you gut down in the mud
can’t see two feet in front of you
or what’s comin’up from behind

(chorus)

open up your eyes and stare at the moon
do you still remember what your runnin’  for
breathe in the air of freedom
let your dreams fuel your mission

better to yield when leaned on
let the weight slip off to the ground
always keep your head up
don’t let nobody keep you down

(chorus)
