(Hands, hands, hands, hands)

You need hands to hold someone you care for
You need hands to show that you're sincere
When you feel nobody wants to know you
You need hands to brush away your tear

When you hold a brand new baby
You need tender hands to guide them on their way
You need hands to thank the Lord for living
And for giving us this day
Shall we dance for the people?

[Instrumental Break]

You need hands to show the world you're happy
You need hands when you have to stop the bus
But the hands we love so dear
Are the hands we love to hear
Are the hands that you give to us
Everybody, oh, the hands that you give to us

Thank you everybody, thank you
Thank you, oh, you're wonderful
