Dreams cast in a wishing well Promises made in sand The gold of heaven and the dogs of hell Never in the hands of man Never in the hands of man Rich man laying in bed in the shade A wall around his land But the hole is dug and the stone is laid By the working hands of man By the working hands of man Ghost inside a prison wall Coin in an empty can The city burns, the towers fall All at the hands of man All at the hands of man Watch the dice get rolled across the land Dropped by time into the hands of man Get up off your knees Build a bridge in a broken land Drop your pride, roll up your sleeves All the hands of man All the hands of man All the hands of man All the hands of man
