With These Hands - Alejandro Escovedo

Feel the fire burning from the other side

Flames scream hear the children cry

You see the wicked prowl across the border

They say death’s the only peace the poor understand

Run for cover, run for cover the storm is breaking

Father, son, Mother, daughter

Their earth is shaking

Run to the river, The water is cool

Run to the river the water will heal your wounds

Say what you will

With these hands

Say what you will

I’ll say it with these hands

There’s danger on the highway, It’s in the shadows

Darker, Darker, Darker, I see the light

It’s moving faster, howling like the wind blows

Time comes when you longer fear the night
