Open Handed

Sometimes I feel like my mind wanders

Far from where I want it to go

Sometimes too far so it squanders

The peace to get me through a day

Sometimes I feel like my mind wanders

Far from where I want it to go

That I'm confused and I ponder

How I ended up this way

Let go of the reins

And open your hands

They tell me when I try to understand

My hardened heart

Won't let me be free

So now I ask for something I can't reach

I'll do my best to listen to these words

But nothing's quite as easy as it seems

So I'll remind myself that they are true

For I have seen the proof time after time

Let go of the reins

And open your hands

They tell me when I try to understand

My hardened heart

Won't let me be free

So now I ask for something I can't reach

I see so much destruction

Surrounding me by day

I hear the cries of anguish

Out to you by night

All I can do now

Is look to you and say

We need you oh we need you

Please help us find a way

Let go of the reins

And open your hands

They tell me when I try to understand

My hardened heart

Won't let me be free

So now I ask for something I can't reach
