Eleutheria
Empty Hands


Eleutheria
Written by: Lenny Kravitz

My life is perfect
Because I accept it as it is
The sunshine is shining
Because it is what it is
What a beautiful feeling it's bringing
All the birds in the sky are singing

Eleutheria the fire is burning
Eleutheria the tables are turning

A new day is dawning
Because it is time for a change
with new consciousness forming
There comes a new day
Oh we got to keep on trying
When the children are cold and alone and are crying
You got to understand

Eleutheria the bells are ringing
Eleutheria the people are singing
Eleutheria people are yearning
Eleutheria this world keeps on turning
Turning

What a beautiful feeling it's bringing
All the birds in the sky are singing
You got to understand
Eleutheris the fire is burning
Eleutheria the tables are turning
Eleutheria the bells are ringing
The people keep singing
The fire is burning
The tables are turning
Got to keep on
Keep on keeping on



Empty Hands
Written by: Lenny Kravitz

He rode in town on a white horse
With nothing in his hands
He came to gather his people
And take them to his promised land
When he came he knew there would be bloodshed
But still no violence made his places
He came to fight in a battle
With no guns or money
But with his empty hands

With his empty hands

They said hey boy what you lookin' at
As they eyed his dreaded mane
He said my father has sent me
I've come back to reclaim
The children whose hearts
Were so whole and pure
Now it's you who'll die in pain
So they lynched the man
Who fooled the word
And all the children gathered
In his empty hands
In his empty hands
