Lyrics

Well, I'm thinking about beginning
Just about the time it seems the world might end
Playing songs for my dinner
Singing in the telephones for friends

Well, you've all been so very human
Congratulations on our best-laid plans
And I love you all forever,
Even those of you hiding your blood-stained hands

And when you find yourself alone
No one for loving, no one home
Just hold on, take my hand
Yes you can

Well, let's wish upon a happy ending
Just about the time the world's gonna bleed
I missed the boat so many times
Sleeping in to catch up on my dreams

I've seen two ravens fly a prophecy
In the sun dawned by the springtide of your love
And I prayed to Jesus, prayed to Buddha
To put in a good word for us somewhere high above

And while birds and bees will play and feed their children
I just pray that you'll forgive
That time that we chose grief instead of love
'Cause we were too afraid to live

And when you find yourself alone
No one is left for loving, and there's no one home
Just reach out and take my hand
Yes you can
You can

And while birds and bees will pray and love their children
I just pray to understand
Just how greed became a virtue
Poisoning all the love in this sweet land

Many years from now, when my name is called
And my days are over, the problem solved
Just reach out and take my hand
Yes you can

Just reach out and take my hand
Yes you can
Yes you can
