During April, National Poetry Month, we are posting a poem a day. If you would like to suggest one, please email it in. Pete Jackson sent this in. These are lyrics by Ben Harper. You can listen to a version which he sings with Jack Johnson here.

With My Own Two Hands by Ben Harper

I can change the world
With my own two hands
Make it a better place
With my own two hands
I’m going to help the human race
With my own two hands.

I can make peace on earth
With my own two hands
I can clean up the earth
With my own two hands
I can reach out to you
With my own two hands.

I’m going to make it a brighter place
With my own two hands
I’m going to make it a safer place
With my own two hands
I’m going to help the human race
With my own two hands.

I can hold you
With my own two hands
I can comfort you
With my own two hands
But you’ve got to use
Use your own two hands
Use your own two hands.
