Open Hands Lyrics

I got the phone call

It was a Tuesday

She said the scans were bad

But it'll be ok

Wish I could be like that

I told my daughter

"The world is changing"

She said "Don't worry dad

I'll found out where my place is"

Wish I could be like that

When all I want to do is hold on

Maybe I could learn to let it go

With open hands, open hands, open hands

No one should have to take the world on

Maybe I could learn to lose control

When I try and I try and I don't understand

I want to live my life with open hands

Open hands, open hands

I was in Nashville

She called me crying

She said they couldn't find a heartbeat

And stopped trying

Some things you can't get back

Went to the desert

To see my Old man

He's moving slower now

His memory is fading fast

Some things you can't get back

When all I want to do is hold on

Maybe I could learn to let it go

With open hands, open hands, open hands

No one should have to take the world on

Maybe I could learn to lose control

When I try and I try and I don't understand

I want to live my life with open hands

Open hands, open hands

I want to live my life with open hands

Open hands, open hands
