lyrics
There’s Nothing Wrong I Can’t Fix with My Hands
I’ll always stand tall because my mind is free
Try as you might to put me on my knees
Give me your oppression and I will defy it
Show me your knot and I will untie it
I’ve got all I need and my toolbox is full
There is no task that is impossible
There is no trouble I cannot withstand
There’s nothing wrong I can’t fix with my hands
There’s no such thing as luck, good or bad
There’s only experiences to be had
Whether or not it turns out in favour
Is all up to you I don’t mean to belabour
The point that even your problems are blessings
So don’t you be fretting and don’t you be stressing
By the dawn’s early light oh say can you see
A problem is just an opportunity
There’s nothing wrong I can’t fix with my hands
There is no trouble I cannot withstand
There is no task that is impossible
I’ve got all I need and my toolbox is full
Show me your knot and I will untie it
Give me your oppression and I will defy it
Try as you might to put me on my knees
I’ll always stand tall because my mind is free
Give me your tired your poor and your weak
I’ll have them square dancing in less than a week
Just clear out your mind of all of that garbage
Clear away all of the mess and the carnage
From what happened yesterday and before
Get over it now there will only be more
But fear not the future and forget the past
The present’s the only true moment that lasts
No matter the company you keep
Don’t let yourself be a sheep
Who always follows the dog
And spend your time in the fog
I do not mean to shock you
But you have followed a flock who
Are headed right for the pack
Of wolves just dying to attack
I’ll always stand tall because my mind is free
Try as you might to put me on my knees
Give me your oppression and I will defy it
Show me your knot and I will untie it
I’ve got all I need and my toolbox is full
There is no task that is impossible
There is no trouble I cannot withstand
There’s nothing wrong I can’t fix with my hands
