I could roll the dice
And give you ten good reasons
I could break the ice
And pick up the broken pieces
I could wave hello, I could raise a glass
I could blow a kiss, I could kick your ass
We could take it all apart or hold it all together
With these two hands I can tear down walls
I can build a bridge, I can break my fall
With these two hands I can pray or fight
I can hold the torch, I can shine a light
With these two hands
I could strike a match that sets the world on fire
Hold a grain of sand till it turns into a diamond
I could plant the seed, I could flip that switch
Make the sign of peace, I could make a fist
Oh, we could make this hurt or we could make it better
With these two hands I can tear down walls
I can build a bridge, I can break my fall
With these two hands I can pray or fight
I can hold the torch, I can shine a light
With these two hands
Wipe the teardrops from your eyes
Reach up until we touch the sky
Free to dream and make it true
No, there ain’t nothing we can’t do
Oh, there ain’t nothing we can’t do
With these two hands I can tear down walls
I can build a bridge, I can break my fall
With these two hands I can pray or fight
I can hold the torch, I can shine a light
With these two hands
Wipe the teardrops from your eyes
Reach up until we touch the sky
Free to dream and make it true
No, there ain’t nothing we can’t do
Oh, there ain’t nothing we can’t do
Empowerment in Every Gesture
“With These Two Hands” by Bon Jovi is an ode to the power and possibility held within our own actions. The lyrics explore the duality of human nature—how the same hands can create or destroy, comfort or confront, build bridges or tear down walls. Through a series of vivid metaphors, Bon Jovi highlights how every choice we make can have profound effects, both on ourselves and those around us. The chorus becomes a rallying cry, emphasizing that with determination and hope, there’s nothing we can’t achieve together.
Hope, Resilience, and Unity
This song stands as a reminder that even the smallest gestures can kindle change. Whether it’s supporting someone in need or reaching for our dreams, Bon Jovi encourages listeners to recognize their own strength and the impact of working together. The message is simple yet powerful: with unity and compassion, any obstacle can be overcome.
