The Hand

To be wild, to be wild, to be free

What is wild, who is wild, who is she?

Is she me, she was me, who am I?

I am I, I am I, yet to be


Here is now, then was now, where is peace?

Here is now, lost somehow, thru the seams

Seamen cry, mermaids fly, water gleams

You and I, we will die, we will dream 


The child is wild, like you and I, claim to be 

The light we touch, when we gain sight, falls from reach

The rabbit hole, that Alice saw, runs ever deep 

Dare to crawl, forget the sin, and find what's real


If we emerge, we'll see the blur

Of clashing lights 

Red and green, unhinged strangers in our minds 

Wrong and right and yellow three, The Hand still swings

The Hand is mine, The Hand is yours, it gives us wings.
