I hold out an open palm
To show I have no secrets left,
That I have nothing to hide
We delved into those thoroughly.
So now we must show open hands
I hold out an open palm,
To show that I bear no grudge;
Not for the pain you have caused
Nor the betrayal you sowed
I return no harm unforced
I hold out an open palm
For you to perceive as you will.
If you think it as welcome,
Or consider it a threat
I am certain you won’t regret
I hold out an open palm
Take it if you will dear friend
Shun it if you must all the same
I trust you still all the same
An open palm
For you, it still
remains
