One hand is ***** Marked with the soil of hard work Scraped knuckles that ache in the cold One hand is ***** Tainted with bad blood Permanent stains that cannot be washed One hand is clean But only to the human faith And underneath it is as filthy as the others Still people give their tithe It is in vain

***** Hands
One hand is ***** Marked with the soil of hard work Scraped knuckles that ache in the cold One hand is ***** Tainted with bad blood Permanent stains that cannot be washed One hand is clean But only to the human faith And underneath it is as filthy as the others Still people give their tithe It is in vain
