Two Free Hands

Ask her what she'd like to be
And she stares at her hands
Ten million years passing by in my mind
The suspension in the arches of her feet
The development of her spine
That led her to stand
With two free hands

And so many of these kids
They are like seals on the land
They feel the beauty of their movements in a sea
That won't let them breathe
And here shе stands
With her free hands

With her two free hands

If I could be a biologist
Not a careers counsеllor
I’d write the last wish of each species
As it left the earth
She doesn't want to do harm
She doesn't need anything grand
At the parent teacher evenings they never understand
They wanna know her plans
For her free hands

For her two free hands
