Full Hands

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

Verse 1

Life is strange, it starts so bare

No gold in your pocket, no crown to wear

You chase the wind, you climb the hill

But the higher you go, the more you feel still

Pre-Chorus

The world will tempt you with glitter and flame

But none of it lasts, none of it stays

Chorus

So make sure your soul gains more than your hands

Let love be the treasure, not castles or plans

When the curtain falls and the silence stands

Only grace will echo, not your demands

Verse 2

You gather trophies, you build your name

But the mirror won’t lie, it sees through the fame

The heart grows richer when it learns to give

Not in what you own, but in how you live

Bridge

You came with nothing, you’ll leave the same

But the soul can shine like a holy flame

So plant your kindness, let mercy grow

That’s the only wealth you’ll ever truly know

Final Chorus

Make sure your soul gains more than your hands

Let truth be your shelter, not shifting sands

When the stars go dim and the hour expands

Only love will carry what life demands
