When they take with the one handAnd take with the other
On the day all the hands go free

Then the sun′s gonna shine
The sun's gonna shine on me

And all the people go
O-lo
E-o lo lo lo lo lo

Gonna raise up the one hand

Hurt me outside, inside I′m free

And there's no enemy
Everyone is my brother
When the truth comes to set me free
(Set me Free)
And we′re not going to fall
In and out with each other
On the day all the hands go free
(Hands go free)

The sun′s gonna shine on me
Let my hands go free
And all hands go free
When all hands go free
The sun's gonna shine on me
