Open Hand

Here's an old one!  

Open Hand

 

This land is your land

This land is my land

Brethren can’t you understand

We’d best make a stand

Some come with fists of raging heat

I realize violence is obsolete

If it’s the world to defeat

An open hand would be a treat

 

Open hand open hand

Ain’t it so grand

Everyone can understand

The warmth of an open hand

 

A lot of shaking lot of talking

Meeting people while I’m walking

Millions of people pass me by

Hope they see the light in my eye

I met a beggar the other day

It seems he’d lost his way

I said hello, how are you, hi

He said, I’m getting by

Thank you for asking me

My open hand was a key

 

Open hand open hand

Ain’t it so grand

Everyone can understand

The warmth of an open hand

 

Why hatred and violence

They should be licensed

Without Love and kindness

Some people often miss

But you can take command

Give them an open hand

Show them that you care

Wish a handshake to share

 

Open hand open hand

Ain’t it so grand

Everyone can understand

The warmth of an open hand
