Hands Up

Fear Factory · Other Songs - Fear Factory

Written & composed by Phil Wilde, Kate Ryan & Steven Tracey



The first time I saw you I still remember when you passed me by

Love at first sight that day in September when I was so shy



The way you smiled, it turned me around - You spin my life upside down

And for a while time stood still - 'Cause I couldn't believe this was real



Chorus

So put your hands up in the sky

C'mon and celebrate our love tonight

Yea put your hands up right into mine

'Cause baby love reigns divine



The first time I kissed you I still remember, I gave all I had

(We were) out of control that night in September

Yea we were bad



The way we held each other so tight - You made me shiver in sheer delight

I felt the earth move as time stood still - No I couldn't

believe this was real



Chorus



Yea put your hands up in the sky - C'mon and celebrate our love tonight

You gotta live one day at a time - 'Cause baby love reigns divine
