I Hear Your Hand

Submitted by Donald E. Shores

Deaf son of Katherine L. Shores

Hey there, friend, you’ve got a hand

Help me see what you said to me

Don’t hide your hand

My ears are closed

I cannot hear

But we can share the world, don’t fear

Just lend a hand

Lend a hand, and I can show you

How 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

There’s so much we can do

Before I knew I walked with you

Until the day you turned away

See what I say

The world that you are hearing now

Is the same world that I see

Reach out your hand

I hear your hand

Lend a hand and I can show you

How 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

There’s so much we can do

You 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 you

How 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.
