Loved this song Daniel since first hearing it at Unity Kansas City in 2016 or so. It’s meant a lot to me ever since on numerous occasions. Thank you! 🙏
I play your music for elders living with dementia. "It gives me goose bumps." "Beautiful." This is what I hear from the elders. Accompanied with smiles and wet eyes. Thank you.
Your talent blows me away...beyond your beautiful voice and piano arrangements...the human story you share touches my soul. Thank you Daniel, you are a precious gift!

Absolutely beautiful Daniel. I love singing this song for people. Not a dry eye every time. Your songs are so timeless and perfect. When people ask me who my top 3 song writers of all time are... I reply: Top 3 - Talpin / Elton John --- Lennon/McCartney & Daniel Nahmod.
Daniel the lyrics are hopeful, and positive, and that is what i love about your music the latest album called "My day is made" and "Cornerstone" are cherished and is very holistic.

EMPTY HANDS
When my hands were emptied
When my hope was gone
I couldn't help but wonder
What had I done wrong?
But even though my heart was broken
There was no need to despair
'Cause a vessel must be open
To put something better there.
Into my empty hands
Gently you poured new life for me.
Yours is a perfect plan.
The ups and the downs
Were meant to be.
Now I understand.
You needed my
Empty Hands.
So forgive when I doubt it,
But sometimes I do,
Or consider giving up
Because I cannot see the truth.
I know I'll never go without
Your deep and abiding love.
Chorus
Into my empty hands
Gently you pour new life for me.
Yours is a perfect plan.
The ups and the downs
Were meant to be.
Now I understand.
You needed my
Empty hands...
Gently you pour new life for me.
Yours is a perfect plan.
The ups and the downs
Were meant to be
And I cannot help but cry
To think of the gifts
You've given me.
Now I understand.
You needed my
Empty hands.
Oh thank you for my
Thank you for my
Thank you for my
Empty hands.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit today

HOW can we put captions on the screen? So we can hear the words. I am at a point where i cannot make out the words.
someone has their mic on.
How do I get permission to use this song at a 12 step nonprofit event?
A vessel must be open to put something better there... :)
Thanks for noticing - the central point of the whole song, and my favorite line.
