I HEAR YOUR HAND Hey there, friend, you've got a hand

Help me see what you said to me

Don't hide your handMy ears are closed I cannot hear

But we can share the world, don't fearJust lend a hand

Lend a hand, and I can show youHow to sing words in the air

You can share my world of silence

There's so much I want to shareI'm reaching out to you

There's so much we can doBefore I knew I walked with you

Until the day you turned awaySee what I say

The world that you are hearing now

Is the same world that I seeReach out your hand

I hear your handLend a hand and I can show you

How to sing words in the airYou can share my world of silence

There's so much I want to shareI'm reaching out to you

There's so much we can doYou call me Deaf but I can see

Birds singing, breezes in the trees and children laugh

My world is lonely without you

Just look at me and smile and clasp my hand in yours

Lend a hand and I can show youHow to sing words in the air

You can share my world of silence There's so much I want to share

I'm reaching out to you

God can make dreams come true.

Cherry: For what it's worth, that poem is actually a song written by Mary Jane Rhodes (words)who was an outstanding pioneer in Deaf Awareness and myself T Daniel Robbins (music). If you're interested I can mail you a CD or an mp3 via email. Have a great day.
