SONG:The Hand Of Kindness

Well i wove the rope and i picked the spot
well i struck out my neck and i tightened the knot
o stranger, stranger, i'm near out of time
you stretch out your hand, i stretched out mine
O maybe just the hand of kindness
maybe just the hand of kindness
maybe just a hand, stranger
will you reach me in time in time
Well i scuppered the ship and i bent the rail
well, i cut the brakes and i ripped the sail
and they called me a jonah, it's a sin i survived
well, you stretched out your hand, i stretched out mine
Maybe just the handof kindness
well, maybe just the hand of kindness
o maybe just a hand, stranger
will you reach me in time in time
O shoot that old horse and break in the new
o the hung are many and the living are few
i see your intention, here's my neck on the line
you stretch out your hand i stretched out mine
Well, maybe just the hand of kindness
o maybe just the hand of kindness
well, maybe just a hand, stranger
will you reach me in time in time
O maybe just the hand of kindness
well, maybe just the hand of kindness
well, maybe just a hand, stranger
will you reach me in time in time
