These Are The Hands (After Michael Rosen) by Commoners Choir

A song based on Michael Rosen's poem 'These Are The Hands', celebrating the people who do the (often unrewarded) everyday jobs and services which benefit us all, especially in this time of pandemic lockdown. Written in response to the weekly Thursday evening's 'clapping for the NHS'.

That stack the shelves That cook the meals That wheel the gurneys That farm the fields That make the beds That clean the drain Deliver the milk And guard the train These are the hands... 2. That run the bus That pen the poems That drive the vans That manage the homes That run the food banks Day after day That gather and pack and then Give it away These are the hands... 3. That leave the gifts That harvest the crops Collect the waste That serve in the shops That clean the toilets Report the news That lap the yard That sell the booze These are the hands... 4. That tend the parks That bottle the pills That pick the fruit That waive the bills That sweep the streets That visit the sick That teach our kids Arithmetic: (Nursery rhyme): “One and one is two Two and two is four We don’t want to go back to The way we were before...” These are the hands... 5. That carry the shopping That pull the weeds Deliver the babies Plant the seeds That mix the medicine Bring the post These are the hands That matter the most These are the hands... 6. Asylum seekers Refugees Who do the work That nobody sees Who left their countries Overseas To work the world For you and me These are the hands... These are the hands... And after the clapping has faded away – Remember what we learned today
