Women's Working Hands (mp3 sample)

Women's hands hammered the nails, Framed the walls, drew it to scale Women's muscle raised the rafters Filled up the rooms with a woman’s laughter Hands and hearts, bodies and souls Women and love make this house a home Hands and hearts, bodies and souls Women and love make this house a home Women's eyes saw the vision Held the dream with grace and precision Women's know-how and sweet compassion Raised up a house in a womanly fashion Women learned to love the wood To love the craft and the sisterhood Learned by working side by side Joy in the sweat and the feeling inside of Women know that walls and floors Roofs and ceilings, windows and doors Are more than shelter to keep out the weather May keep a homeless family together Jobs are short and times are lean No safety net and the streets are mean From shopping carts and cardboard walls The hands reach out, can we heed the call for Hands and hearts, bodies and souls Women and love make this house a home Hands and hearts, bodies and souls Women and love make this house a home Women and love make this house a home Women and love Make this house a home
