Days 8-14 of fun-a-day 2014

lyrics

He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole wide world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his big ol' hands
He's got you and me in his hands

He's got your mama and your papa in his hands
He's got your sons and your daughters in his hands
He's got your brothers and your sisters in his hands
Our bodies soaking in the sweat of his hands

He's got the trees and the gasses in his hands
He's got the minerals and molasses in his hands
He's got vomit and malaria in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the Cold War in Korea in his hands
He's got the brain of Albert Einstein in his hands
He's got the breathe of the coffee bingers in his hands
He's got it all in his hands

He's got the clouds in the sky in his hands
He's got the drones in the sky in his hands
He's got the buzzards flying by in his hands
He's got it taken care of with a clap of his hands

He's got well-informed prophecies in his hands
He's got Orwellian policies in his hands
He's got Edward Snowden's bravery in his hands
He broke his fall with the blisters on his hands
He broke his fall with the blisters on his hands
He broke his fall with the blisters on his hands

She's got the whole world in her hands
I wanna hold her hand
I wanna hold her hand
I wanna hold her hand

You've got the whole world in your hands
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand
I wanna hold your hand

She's got the whole world in her hands
She's got the whole world in her hands
She's got the whole world
In her hands
