Kravitz Lenny Empty Hands Lyrics

Empty Hands Lyrics

He rode in town on a white horse

 With nothing in his hands

 He came to gather his people

 And take them to his promised land

 When he came he knew there would be bloodshed

 But still no violence made his places

 He came to fight in a battle

 With no guns or money

 But with his empty hands

 

 With his empty hands

 

 They said hey boy what you lookin' at

 As they eyed his dreaded mane

 He said my father has sent me

 I've come back to reclaim

 The children whose hearts

 Were so whole and pure

 Now it's you who'll die in pain

 So they lynched the man

 Who fooled the word

 And all the children gathered

 In his empty hands

 In his empty hands
