Open Hands

Open hands
Nailed for me
I’m so tight fisted
Want to be free

Chained by love
Held by care
Dismissed by all
I can’t be there

‘Lean on me’
I sing out loud
I want to give
But assailed by cloud

I want my hands
To be open free
But I hold on tight
They cannot see

I remind myself
Of what to do
But my heart wrenches
Known by few

But I will stand
Hard as it is
With hands open wide
No one to dismiss

Nails may be driven
A spear in my side
But one’s there before me
Arms held wide
