Look At Those Hands

Look at those hands, look at those feet
Look at those tiny limbs so sweet
Look at that hair in a widow's peak
Look at that, look at that child

Look at that tree, look at that cloud
Look at your world turn slowly round
This is your world from sky to ground
Look at that, look at that child

When you're feeling lonely use your feet to get you there
Use your hands to touch a stranger
Use your eyes to see and share,
the beauty that's around us,
though it all seems out of reach
There's no shame in failure when you've given everything

Look at that bird, look at that fish
When they're gone remember this
Greed put too much on our dish
Look at that, look at that child

Life's a waiting game they cried, we pray for water all our lives,
then when it rains we sit inside and wait for the storm to pass
