About the Song
Part 1 (Tenor – These Hands are Strong):
These hands are strong, this heart is wide
This mind, this mind is wise
These hands are strong, this heart is wide,
I am on, on your side
Part 2 (Alto – Work to Be Done):
There is work to be done, there is work to be done
With these hands, this heart, this mind
There is work to be done, there is work to be done
I am on, on your side
Part 3 (Bass – Steady On):
Steady on, steady on, steady on, steady on, steady on, steady on
Steady on, on your side
Part 4 (Soprano):
Joyfully, joyfullly, joyfully, joyfully, joyfully, joyfully
Joy I’m on your side
