lyrics

I’ve got a hand
A painted hand
I’ve got some fingers
That are painted as well
If I should go
Into the sea
I’d make sure to take my
Painted hand with me

And should I meet
A bearded man
My hand would strike him
Like a stray dog
It’s nice to have a hand
To lend a friend
But it’s sad
When no one needs it

He got out
He was filled up with an
Unknown smile
And a feeling that he
Had a clue
To the answer to
One of the questions life may bring
He wandered

Dizzily
Through his hometown as it
Fell asleep
Must have been smiling with his
Mouth as well
“There seems to be
Hope for mankind after all”

You’ve got a mouth
A painted mouth
You use your smile
To make them lower their deffence
And all your friends
They live through you
And will always know
What you are up to

You give away
Each secret thought
You live and act
As if you’re famous
And‘ll never know a thing
About yourself
And it’s sad
When you’re a stranger

Was what he thought
Through a miracle he
Now perceived
That there was kindness left
In the world
Benevolence, a joy in
Carrying out your everyday deeds

“Am I this good?
Do I take pride in tending
My loved ones?
Am I the only one who
Thinks this way?
Will I be able to
Open their eyes and help them out?”
