Empty hands? (I think not)

I know how to fight, mame and kill
I paused and I thought.

Empty hands? (I think not)

But it dawned on me how I need not speak
for my hands can say a lot.

Empty hands? ( I think not)

For when I raised my hand at a passing joe
without a word they raised theirs and said "hello".

Empty hands? (I think not)

I decided to see what I could see
for when I extended my hand, he shook hands with me.

Empty hands? (I think not)

I saw a man sitting with his hands on his face
looking very sad and deep in thought.

Empty hands? (I think not)

With not a word said, I put my hand on his head
for he looked up and smiled.

Empty hands? (I think not)

as I walked on starring at my hands
and pondering all I've been taught

Empty hands? (I think not)

I know how to fight, mame and kill
I paused and I thought

Empty hands? (I think not)

As I walked inside and thought of my day
I put my hands together and prayed

Empty hands? (I think not)

For it is true I know how to kill
I also found that I know how to heal

Empty hands? (I think not)
