Open Hands Lyrics

There is a time for war, a time for peace

A time to mourn on our knees

There is a time for death, a time for life

A time to rest from the fight

There is a time to break, a time to build

A time to lay and be still

There is a time to gather, a time for goodbyes and to scatter

You give and you take it away

I can't take what you give to my grave

Cause nothing that comes ever stays

I miss the days, I miss the days

When I was happy with where I was at

Not chasing the things I don't have

I'm done running I'm taking a stand

See my open hands, my open hands

There is time a time to give, a time to receive

A time to quit on a dream

There is a time to fast, a time to feast

A time to be sad and to grieve

There is a time for silence, a time to speak

A time for violence to cease

Whatever it's time for today, I decide to embrace my fate

You give and you take it away

I can't take what you give to my grave

Cause nothing that comes ever stays

I miss the days, I miss the days

When I was happy with where I was at

Not chasing the things I don't have

I'm done running I'm taking a stand

See my open hands, my open hands

Things I held on to

I'm letting them go

Open my hands

And I give you control

Life isn't mine

And this world's not my home

I give you control

I give you control

Things I held on to

I'm letting them go

Open my hands

And I give you control

Life isn't mine

And this world's not my home

I give you control

I give you control

Things I held on to

I'm letting them go

Open my hands

And I give you control

Life isn't mine

And this world's not my home

I give you control

I give you control
