Lyrics
Oh, yeah!
Midnight flight on a silver wing
Carrying the tools that the morning brings
Item cases and schematics laid out wide
Meeting face to face with nothing to hide
They ask what we brought,
we say our hands and ears
To listen to the story of the common
years
No masters here, just hands that meet
Building the future down on this street
Tools across the sea
Knowledge setting people free
Standing side by side
Where we want to be
Local hands leading the way
Building a brighter, healthier day
Saw the iron blowing in the workshop light
Working through the shadows till the room turns bright
Circuits and valves and the charts we share
Every diaphragm a bridge across the air
No one comes to rescue, we come to share the load
Walking step by step down this shared road
No masters here, just hands that meet
Building the future down on this street
Tools across the sea
Knowledge setting people free
Standing side by side
While we want to be
Local heads leading the way
Building healthier day
From the capital war to the district bed
It's the wisdom of the local doctors ahead
We bring the gear but you bring the soul
Together we make the broken system whole
Oh, oh, oh
Tools across across the sea, knowledge
setting people free Standing side by
side, where we want to be
Local hands leading the way,
building healthier day Hey, now they're
setting people free Now they're setting people free
Oh, cross the sea
Oh,
local Love your hands leading the way
