Ben Harper - Two Hands Of A Prayer

Two Hands Of A Prayer

First time that I saw her she had white doves in her eyes
She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply
She was a stranger I had known for years
She brought to me so many smiles and tears, smiles and tears

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Time it slowly drips into the past, into the past
It finds a home where all echoes rest, echoes rest
She softly kissed my mind, my mind,
And whispered, "What will we do with time, do with time?"


The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Am I the man I choose, choose to be, choose to be
Or just the man I used to be, used to be
Am I the man I want, want to be, I want to be
this question, it keeps haunting me, haunting me

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Oh, a prayer
