The Palm of your Hands
He Kept looking into the palm of his hands
To see if there is something that he could understand
But the words continue to scroll up and down like
Writings on a page revealing his old age,
There was something in the light that he
Could not see that was draining his
Physical energy, it was just one sentence about
The rum punch that everyone likes to have when the day is done
And multitude converge underneath the sun before a big stage
With the American flag hoisted everywhere and the watch party that follows kept floating in the air and destiny open the roof
So that he could choose and the light that shine from above
Lead him on another path, and so he went out for a ride and reality reveal his pride and something explode in his head
And finally he could see what was waiting for thee
He was proud to be an American but his heart was singing
A different song, it is the investment that he sees why his heart was pining after thee and the miracle that was waiting in the tree forces him to change his tune and meet thee before noon
And the wilderness finally departs and at last the day could start
And so look into the palm of his hands and at last he could understand the cards that were playing in his hands.
