Empty Hands Lyrics - Lenny Kravitz

1 He rode in town on a white horse

2 With nothing in his hands

3 He came to gather his people

4 And take them to his promised land

5 When he came he knew there would be bloodshed

6 But still no violence made his places

7 He came to fight in a battle

8 With no guns or money

9 But with his empty hands

10 With his empty hands

11 They said hey boy what you lookin' at

12 As they eyed his dreaded mane

13 He said my father has sent me

14 I've come back to reclaim

15 The children whose hearts

16 Were so whole and pure

17 Now it's you who'll die in pain

18 So they lynched the man

19 Who fooled the word

20 And all the children gathered

21 In his empty hands

22 In his empty hands
