With My Own Two Hands


Ben Harper and Jack Johnson have been two of my favorite men for quite some time. The way they can capture a song and it's meaning is truly astonishing to me. This is why I think posting about this song and it's meaning to me is needed.

In a brief moment of studying this song came on and it hit me. I have listened to this song hundreds of times over the course of the many years I have known of it. And until now, I haven't really thought this deeply upon it. I've know it is great and about helping others, however in moments like now I appreciate this so much more.It may be the course my life is taking, or it may be me being over-analytical. Either way, the realization touched my heart.

Day to day we hear others complain about things they dislike. We are guilty of giving in and doing the same as well. Every dog has their days. If we sit in the pitty and sit in the problems that irritate us, we are only making it worse. We are only making it a darker place for generations to come. With your own two hands you can help mend what is broken. At first I thought, jeeeesh I can't fix the worlds problems, I can't make everything ok and better by myself. And I was right, I can't. BUT, when you all work together and have a brighter outlook on things we in fact can help.

Kinder Place
Peace on Earth
Clean up the Earth
Reach Out
Brighter Place
Safer Place
Help the Human Race

Use your own two hands. It is truly a give and take world. It cannot just be one way. Do it positively and live for more than yourself. Step outside of the stereotypical selfish world we are often caught in. You got this!
