Daniel Nahmod - Hammer and Nail

With a hammer and nail
I can build most anything
A treehouse for children
A courthouse for judging

With a hammer and nail
I'll build a bank or a prison
A stage for musicians
Or a skyscrapin' building

With a hammer and nail
A family on the street
The one you hardly see
Can finally have a home

So while I have this chance
How will I use these hands
What will I do
With a hammer and nail

With a hammer and nail
I can help with hard labor
Fix a boat for a sailor
Lend a hand to a neighbor

With a hammer and nail
In the wake of destruction
I can lay a foundation
I can rebuild a nation

With a hammer and nail
A soldier coming home
Who paid the highest price for our freedom
Can finally rest in peace

So the question stands
If I only have these two hands
What will I do
With a hammer and nail

Oh, what will I do with a hammer and nail?

What will I do
Will I build a wall or a bridge
What will I do
Will I build a door and let everybody in
What will I do with a hammer and nail

What will I do
There's a whole world out there
What will I do
In desperate need of repair
What will I do with a hammer and nail

And when the time has come
Will I have shown my son
What one man can do
With a hammer and nail
