And they all had their hands up, praying for an answer
And they all had their hands up, every eye cry
And they all had their hands up, the sight of the most high
Come on get your hands up! Get your hands up!
(2X's)
And they all had their hands up, hoping for a miracle
And they all had their hands up, praying for an answer
And they all had their hands up, every eye cry
And they all had their hands up, the sight of the most high
