when my little boy requested to listen to this song off the Curious George soundtrack in the car and sang it all the way to the sitter this morning….
My Own Two Hands
I can change the world
With my own two hands
Make it a better place
With my own two hands
Make it a kinder place
With my own two hands
With my own
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
With my own
With my own two hands
With my own
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
With my own
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
I can hold you
In 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
Use your own two hands
Use your own
Use your own two hands
With our own
Our own two hands
With our own
Our own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
Sometimes… in those stressful mommy days… you get a glimpse that you are doing something right.

I love that song! I know that Jack Johnson did the Curious George soundtrack, and he also works with Ben Harper frequently, who recorded that song on his CD last year. It is a great inspirational song.
…and I have Ben Harper tickets for his show at Merriweather this weekend
That is adorable that Cowboy was singing!

Oh, that Cowboy! He kills me!
When the kids and I listen to this CD in the car (er…all the time…), we talk about what we can do with our own two hands.
I can hug my sister with my own two hands.
I can clap to music with my own two hands.
I can knit you something soft with my own two hands.
Try it!

I have some funny songs to teach him.

What a great song. I really must get my hands on that one.
