Hand of Kindness
A Lifeline of Redemption: Unraveling the Hand of Kindness
Lyrics
Well I wove the rope and I picked the spot
Initiating the act of preparing a rope and choosing a location.
Well I struck out my neck and I tightened the knot
Committing to the action by placing the noose around the neck and securing it.
O stranger, stranger, I'm near out of time
Expressing a sense of urgency and running out of time.
You stretch out your hand, I stretched out mine
Openness to help, reaching out to others for assistance.
O maybe just the hand of kindness
Suggesting the possibility of a kind gesture, possibly assistance or support.
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Reiterating the idea of a kind gesture, emphasizing its potential significance.
Maybe just a hand, stranger
Possibly referring to a helpful intervention from a stranger.
Will you reach me in time in time
Seeking reassurance that assistance will come in time.
Well I scuppered the ship and I bent the rail
Admitting to causing damage and chaos, possibly metaphorical.
Well, I cut the brakes and I ripped the sail
Further destructive actions taken, indicating a troubled situation.
And they called me a Jonah, it's a sin I survived
Being labeled as a Jonah, surviving despite a negative reputation.
Well, you stretched out your hand, I stretched out mine
Repeating the theme of reaching out for help despite the troubled past.
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Emphasizing the possibility of a kind gesture, maybe redemption.
Well, maybe just the hand of kindness
Reiterating the hope for a helping hand, possibly for salvation.
O maybe just a hand, stranger
Repeating the idea of assistance from a stranger.
Will you reach me in time in time
Expressing a sense of urgency regarding the need for timely assistance.
O shoot that old horse and break in the new
Suggesting a drastic measure, possibly symbolic, for a new beginning.
O the hung are many and the living are few
Commenting on the abundance of suffering and scarcity of those who thrive.
I see your intention, here's my neck on the line
Acknowledging understanding of someone's intentions, with a willingness to take risks.
You stretch out your hand I stretched out mine
Repeating the theme of seeking help despite personal risk.
Well, maybe just the hand of kindness
Reiterating the possibility of a kind act, emphasizing its importance.
O maybe just the hand of kindness
Expressing hope for a specific, kind intervention in a difficult situation.
Well, maybe just a hand, stranger
Repeating the idea of assistance from an unknown person.
Will you reach me in time in time
Seeking assurance that help will arrive in a timely manner.
O maybe just the hand of kindness
Emphasizing the potential significance of a kind gesture for redemption.
Well, maybe just the hand of kindness
Reiterating the hope for a specific, kind intervention in a challenging situation.
Well, maybe just a hand, stranger
Repeating the theme of assistance from an unknown person.
Will you reach me in time in time
Seeking reassurance that help will come in time.
