And there′s nowhere I'd rather be

(Rather be)

When they take with the one handAnd take with the other

On the day all the hands go free

(Hands go free)

Then the sun′s gonna shine

The sun's gonna shine on me

O-lo

E-o lo lo lo lo lo

And all the people go

O-lo

E-o lo lo lo lo lo

Mama Maria she would take my hand

Down to el río sol

Free hands go

And there′s nowhere I'd rather be

(Rather be)

Gonna raise up the one hand

And raise up the other

Hurt me outside, inside I′m free

(Inside I'm free)

And there's no enemy

Everyone is my brother

When the truth comes to set me free

(Set me Free)

And we′re not going to fall

In and out with each other

On the day all the hands go free

(Hands go free)

Then the sun′s gonna shine

The sun's gonna shine on me

Tell all the people go

O-lo

E-o lo lo lo lo lo

And the people go

O-lo

E-o lo lo lo lo lo

Sun′s gonna shine on me

And I know

One day I Know

The sun's gonna shine on me

Let my hands go free

Let my hands go free

Let my hands go free

The sun′s gonna shine on me

Let my hands go free

And all hands go free

When all hands go free

The sun's gonna shine on me
