lyrics

"I'm Gonna Use My Hands"
by Tom Smith (ASCAP), © 2018 Peabody Hill Publishing (ASCAP)

I’m gonna use my hands.
I’ll find a broken thing to mend
I’m gonna use my hands
I’m gonna use my hands

I’m gonna use my hands
I’ll build a bridge and make a friend
I’m gonna use my hands
I’m gonna use my hands

I’m gonna make the world a better place
Gonna use my hands
--------------

I’m gonna use my brain
Turn every loss into a gain
I’m gonna use my brain
I’m gonna use my brain

I’m gonna use my brain
And if I fail I’ll try again
I’m gonna use my brain
I’m gonna use my brain

I’m gonna make the world a better place
I’m gonna use my brain
--------------

I’m gonna use my voice
If something’s wrong I’m makin’ noise!
I’m gonna use my voice
I’m gonna use my voice

I’m gonna use my voice
‘Cause everybody has a choice
I’m gonna use my voice
I’m gonna use my voice

I’m gonna make the world a better place
I’m gonna use my voice
--------------

I’m gonna use my heart
This is the hardest part
I’m gonna use my heart
I’m gonna use my heart

I’m gonna use my heart
Let’s find a common place and start
I’m gonna use my heart
I’m gonna use my heart

I’m gonna make the world a better place
I’m gonna use my heart
--------------

We’re gonna use our hands
We’re gonna use our brains
We’re gonna use our voice
We’re gonna use our hearts

We’re gonna use our hands
We’re gonna use our brains
We’re gonna use our voice
We’re gonna use our hearts

We’re gonna make the world a better place
We're gonna use our hands

about

Tom Smith image

Tom Smith Boston, Massachusetts

“Folk music is still a living tradition that feeds on new songs that speak of people’s wants, needs, struggles and triumphs. Tom Smith is a man who writes songs that seem like they’ve always been there. There are very few songwriters working today that I would call folksingers, but I would call Tom Smith a true folksinger.” – Dave Palmeter, WUMB-FM Boston ... more
