Lyrics
moses rose to lead his people
to the promised land
pharaoh’s staff refused
to set them free
centuries spin down and show us
time and time again
we don’t learn too much from history
but close our eyes and hatred disappears
the sky rings with laughter
through its tears
and sees them walking hand in hand
walking hand in hand
walking hand in hand
into heaven
death cards in a pair
the fortune teller’s eyes grow wide
fate slips in a joker and grins
like the east is from the west
the years are cast aside
god does the same with their sins
who can know the lives he will bless?
simple men can only do their best
and these are walking hand in hand
walking hand in hand
walking hand in hand
into heaven
and here where i sit i spin the color wheel
i look to the past and what do i see
a line in the sand a scar that won’t heal
between you and me
poets and pundits
spin their lives so many ways
i’ll leave that for others
who set me on that high horse
to judge them anyways
if god sees them as brothers
ain’t no stronger ties
than blood to blood
grace is color blind within the flood
that brings them walking hand in hand
walking hand in hand
walking hand in hand
into heaven
and here where i sit i spin the color wheel
i look to tomorrow and what do i see
a line in the sand a scar we can heal
between you and me
i’ve got rhymes and reasons
but i ain’t got no one fooled
hmmm i better watch my back
white-collar job
and my kids were private-schooled
have i called this kettle black
i’d do better watching children play
there ain’t no color rules there anyway
they’re just walking hand in hand
walking hand in hand
walking hand in hand
into heaven
