There is a better way

In our hands, what have, we have, that governments cannot take. In our hands, what can, we make, that no-one can steal or break. In our hands, we have, what others may not. In our hands, is what we have, that we can use and help a lot! Governments have done it wrong, nooses of money around our necks, But we have something better friends and it is what is in our hands So open your hands and you will find the very thing you need A talent, a song or a handy mans tool, look friend you will see. The choice is yours, take it please to help a friend in need Don't charge money for the thing you have, but do what is needed for free As each one looks and sees what they have, each one can share with another Fix someone's broken plumbing, while someone else helps babysit for a mother. When we use what we have, we go against greed and corruption. We can complain, yes it is true but what has that got us but nothing. So open your hands dear friend of mine, what is that you have Barter to fill a need out of love not money my friend and you will see and show the governments of the world, there is a better way.
