[Verse 1]
Well, I wove the rope and I picked the spot
Well, I stuck out my neck and I tightened the knot
Oh, stranger, stranger, I'm near out of time
You stretch out your hand, I stretch out mine

[Chorus]
Oh, maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Maybe just a hand
Stranger, will you reach me in time?
In time

[Verse 2]
Well, I scuppered the ship and I bent the rail
Well, I cut the brakes and I ripped the sail
And they called me a Jonah, it's a sin I survived
And you stretch out your hand, I stretch out mine

[Chorus]
Maybe just the hand of kindness
Well, maybe just the hand of kindness
Oh, maybe just a hand
Stranger, will you reach me in time?
In time
[Verse 3]
Oh, shoot that old horse, ah, break in the new
Oh, the hung are many and the living are few
I see your intention, here's my neck on the line
You stretch out your hand, I stretch out mine

[Chorus]
Oh, maybe just the hand of kindness (Maybe)
Oh, maybe just the hand of kindness (Maybe)
Oh, maybe just a hand
Stranger, will you reach me in time?
In time
Oh, maybe just a hand of kindness (Maybe just a hand of kindness)
Well, maybe just a hand of kindness (Maybe just a hand of kindness)
Well, maybe just a hand
Stranger, will you reach me in time?
In time
