I Felt My Life With Both My Hands

I felt my life with both my hands

To see if it was there

I held my spirit to the glass

To prove it possibler

I turned my being round and round

And paused at every pound

To ask the owner's name

For doubt that I should know the sound

To ask the owner's name

For doubt that I should know the sound

I judged my features, jelled my hair

I pushed my dimples by

And waited if they twinkled back

Conviction might of me

I turned my being round and round

And paused at every pound

To ask the owner's name

For doubt that I should know the sound

To ask the owner's name

For doubt that I should know the sound

I told myself take courage, friend

That was a former time

But we might learn to like the Heaven

As well as our old home

I turned my being round and round and round

Paused at every pound

To ask the owner's name

For doubt that I should know the sound

To ask the owner's name

For doubt that I should know the sound

I felt my life with both my hands

To see if it was there
