(Salt) Deep in the earth
(Salt) Has its worth
(Salt) Three kings, a birth
What's it worth?
(Mine) Well, it's all for me
(Mine) I can dig it free
With slavery, wait and see

We once held hands, we once held hands
We once held hands in this common land
We once held hands, we once held hands
We once held hands, we had no

(Oil) The blood that spoils
(Oil) The hand that toils
(Oil) The gun recoils
Where's the oil?
(Mine) Well, it's all for me
(Mine) I'll pump it free
Slavery
Dead sea, wait and see, yeah

We once held hands, we once held hands
We once held hands in this common land
We once held hands, we once held hands
We once held hands, the boy grows to man
(Blood) Oh, running red
(Blood) I want his head
(Blood) Alive or dead
Rage is fed
(Crime) Humanity
(Crime) Hostility
(Crime) Religiously
Impose your will, blood will spill

We once held hands, we once held hands
We once held hands in this common land
We once held hands, we once held hands
We once held hands, the boy grows to man

On shifting sands
In this common land

We once held hands

(Salt) It will preserve
(Salt) Deep in the earth
(Salt) Three kings, a birth
What's it worth?
(Mine) Well, it's all for me
(Mine) Can I have it for free?
(Mine) With slavery
Dead sea, wait and see
We once held hands, we once held hands
We once held hands in this common land
We once held hands, we once held hands
We once held hands, the boy grows to man
We once held hands (Boy grows to man)
We once held hands
We once held hands, no master plan
We once held hands, we once held hands
We once held hands (Oh, oh, oh, shifting sands)
We once held hands, we once held hands
We once held hands
