Hands That Heal
Peace begins with
me!
This song is for the ones who show up when the world
looks away
To the hands that bring beauty services to the broken and hopeless
women
You cut the hair,
you paint the nails,
you put makeup that give them a perfect head shot for their
resume
All the while you hold their silent tears that turn to smiles
You remind a wounded woman that she's worthy of care
To the shelter ladies,
all of the volunteers the last 20 years with BFF,
and the ones who still stay
Thank you for showing up
every Sunday
We are not alone in this Every hand becomes a bridge
Every heart that chooses love
Is a light that lifts us up
I pledge to be
nonviolent
I pledge to respect my body
I pledge to protect the earth I am NVP.
NonViolentPerson.
To the ones who tell the story
when the cameras turn away
To the musicians who lend their voice to give the voiceless strength
You feed the body,
feed the soul, you fill an empty plate
To the ones who bring toys for the children who resides at
the domestic violence. You share the song,
you spread the word,
you make us all smile.
To the media, the beauticians,
the ones who give their time and skills Thank you for standing
with us on the front line We could not do this without
you
Every hand becomes a bridge
Every heart that chooses love
Is a light that lifts us up
I pledge to be
nonviolent
I pledge to respect my body I pledge to protect the earth
I am NVP.
NonViolentPerson.
To the ones who use their platform to shine a brighter light
To the faces on the screen who say "I'll take the nonviolence
pledge" You didn't have to show up,
but you chose to lend your name

every language, every heart that's in bloom From the shelters to the
stadiums, from the streets to own a home We are writing a
new story on a brand new page So to everyone who helped
