(Verse) I wait to the river, but the river was dry Saw a little bird that caught my eye Keep on running where you’re going I tell you something I think’s worth knowing. Cities come and cities go, Time can move fast and time can move slow, You’ve only got two arms on your shoulders (Chorus) Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. sponsored links Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. (Verse) I went to the mountain, what did I see? A white bearded man with a color TV He said “can you believe these kids today Half of them are murderers and half of them pray” For what, for what, I can’t reply You sit and you stare as they pa** you by The rivers, the mountains, the parallel sea Oh man, oh man, now listen to me. (Chorus) Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. (Bridge) Why not if love a little bit harder Your sons don’t mind the sins of your fathers Well then I’m dancing up in the sky now Why not live life a little bit? Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. (Chorus) Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry. Don’t throw, don’t throw, Don’t throw your hands up only to cry.
