MANNAM: Hand in Hand

MANNAM: Hand in Hand

I'd like to introduce a song to you. The title of the song is 'Hand in Hand'.

It was 1988 Seoul Olympics Official Song which was sung in both Korean and English.

It's Korean title is Son-e-Son-Jap-go (손에 손 잡고), of course, which means Hand in Hand.

In 1988 Olympics Opening Ceremony, Olympics participants' parade from all over the world walked around the track.

The song contains the hopeful message that world can be a peaceful and better place to live if everybody is harmonized.

At this point, we are living in the world which has conflicts and fights amongst countries, but as the message from the song, if we stand hand in hand and start to understand each other, it will break down the walls and bring peace to this world.

No matter where you live, what is your careers your races or nationalities,

We all breathe with air that provided by nature.

We all receive the sunlight from the sun and receive rains under the same sky.

We are same human-being who has beating hearts.

So, we can be friends.

We can hold hand in hand desire the better and peaceful world.

As the song ‘Hand in Hand’, the world can be a better place if we start to understand each other better. Then surely, there will be peace in this world.

The Lyrics of Hand in hand  (Artist: Koreana)

See the fire in the sky
We feel the beating of our hearts together
This is our time to rise above
We know the chance is here to live forever
For all time

CHORUS:
Hand in Hand we stand
All across the land
We can make this world 
A better place in which to live

Hand in Hand we can
Start to understand
Breaking down the walls
That come between us for all time
Arirang

Everytime we give it all
We feel the flame eternally inside us
Lift our hands up to the sky
The morning calm helps us to live in harmony
For all time

CHORUS:
Hand in hand we stand
All across the land
We can make this world 
A better place in which to live

Hand in Hand we can
Start to understand
Breaking down the walls
That come between us for all time
Arirang

Hand in hand we stand
All across the land
We can make this world 
A better place in which to live

Hand in Hand we can
Start to understand
Breaking down the walls
That come between us for all time

Hand in hand (Breaking down the walls between us)
Hand in Hand (Breaking down the walls)
