Open Hands


Open hands of what I hide
Is nothing you can’t see inside
I show you open hands because
I’m hiding nothing protected with love

I stand here offering you my best
My hope, my honour, my love and no less
What you see is what you get
But maybe you see nothing yet

With me you can only compare
With you, your life and moments so rare
But do you see my life full of strength
My love, my anger my moments intent?

I show you who I’m about to be
But will you take the time to see?
Will you look beyond the wall?
And know that I reveal it all?

I’m hiding nothing from your view
Your fear hides this hiding you
I stand here offering you my best
My hope, my honour, my love and no less
