Hands--Lyrics
By JD Martin, Jan Garrett, and Karen Taylor-Good
VERSE 1 I know we all look diff’rent, we come from diff’rent lands. We speak in ways we can't all understand. But, we’ve got one thing in common and it goes way beyond the words, Simple gifts we're bringing to this world.
CHORUS 1 Hands reaching out, hands lifting up Welcoming each other, open hands of love. Some hands pray to Jesus, some to Yahweh, some Allah, Showing up with these hands, doing the work of love. Strong hands, doing the work of love.
VERSE 2 When the earth is shaking and the flood waters rise. In the middle of a life we hardly recognize. That's when we pull together and guide each other home. No one has to go through this alone.
CHORUS 2 Hands reaching out, hands lifting up Welcoming each other, open hands of love. Some hands pray Namaste, some Omnamashiva, Showing up with these hands, doing the work of love. Strong hands, doing the work of love.
BRIDGE Doing the work, doing the work, healing the hurt, healing the hurt Ready or not, ready or not, walking the talk, walking the talk, We're doing our best, we're doing our best, To just say yes, to just say yes; here's the plan, here's the plan: All join hands!
CHORUS 3 Hands reaching out, hands lifting up Welcoming each other, open hands of love. Some hands honor Mother Earth, celebrate the stars above, Showing up with these hands, doing the work of love. Strong hands, doing the work.
