“Hands in Hearts”
Written, composed and performed (for now) by Amelia Ray
Zoals het tarwe in het veld (Dutch)
Słonecznik w dolinie (Polish)
Mnohem pevnější než ocel (Czech)
Nas njeguje vrijeme (Croatian)
Rís upp, við munum rísa (Icelandic)
Hilse den nye dag Løft vores hoved op til skyerne (Danish)
Değirmendeki tohumlar gibi (Turkish)
Portiamo la memoria (Italian)
Din trecut încă persistă (Romanian)
наші шрами – це твої шрами (Ukrainian)
Stojíme na vašej strane (Slovak)
Hoy me toca a mí
Quizás mañana a ti (Spanish)
Hands in hearts, we will rise, we will labour
Do our part, be a friend to our neighbour
Who knows how far we can go
Who knows how far we can go
Hands in hearts?
Ne možemo zatvoriti oči (Bosnian)
Toisten kärsimyksiin (Finnish)
Nous sommes la frontière unie (French)
Raising our voices to the last
Como o rouxinol canta (Portuguese)
Die Botschaft der Liebe kommt an (German)
Hands in hearts, we will rise, we will labour
Do our part, be a friend to our neighbour
Who knows how far we can go
Who knows how far we can go
Hands in hearts?
Making memes just ain’t my thing
I thought I’d mess around and sing
And try to bring us together
For now we can withstand the weather
But you know the clock is ticking y’all
The sooner, the better
All this violence and hatred
Disrespecting the planet
Man, I can’t stand it – not a fan
We need a love band, a family affair
If you with me, come on
Let me see your hearts in hands
We’ll make it together
If we just believe in our power
Hands in hearts, we will rise, we will labour
Do our part, be a friend to our neighbour
Hands in hearts, we will rise, we will labour
Do our part, be a friend to our neighbour
Hands in hearts, we will rise, we will labour
Not worlds apart, we’re your next-door neighbour
We’ll stand through the highs and the lows
Then they’ll know how far we can go
Then we’ll know how far we can go
Hands in hearts
Like the wheat in the field
Sunflower in the valley
Much stronger than steel
The weather nurtures us
Rise, we will rise
And greet the new day dawning,
Life our heads up to the skies
Like the seed in the mill
We carry the memory
Of the not-so distant past
Our scars are your scars
We stand by your side
Today is my turn to help
Tomorrow may be yours
Hands in hearts, we will rise, we will labour
Do our part, be a friend to our neighbour
Who knows how far we can go
Who knows how far we can go
Hands in hearts?
We can’t close our eyes
To the suffering of others
We are the united frontier
Raising our voices to the last!
As the nightingale sings
Our message of love we bring
Hands in hearts, we will rise, we will labour
Do our part, be a friend to our neighbour
Who knows how far we can go
Who knows how far we can go
Hands in hearts?
Making memes just ain’t my thing
I thought I’d mess around and sing
And try to bring us together
For now we can withstand the weather
But you know the clock is ticking y’all
The sooner, the better
All this violence and hatred
Disrespecting the planet
Man, I can’t stand it – not a fan
We need a love band, a family affair
If you with me, come on
Let me see your hearts in hands
We’ll make it together
If we just believe in our power
Hands in hearts, we will rise, we will labour
Do our part, be a friend to our neighbour
Hands in hearts, we will rise, we will labour
Do our part, be a friend to our neighbour
Hands in hearts, we will rise, we will labour
Not worlds apart, we’re your next-door neighbour
We’ll stand through the highs and the lows
Then they’ll know how far we can go
Then we’ll know how far we can go
Hands in hearts
