Empty We Stand (A Classic Song)

I came to this world with open hands,
Nothing in my pockets, no gold, no lands.

The sun rises high, and then it sets grand,
We come empty-handed, and empty we stand.

Life's a river that flows, so wild and free,
We dip our toes in, make ripples you see.

But when the dusk calls, it's clear to understand,
We come with nothing, leave just as we planned.

Chasing the wind, under the sky so expanded,
We hold onto love, that's all we demanded.

The journey's ours, from start to the end,
We'll leave this world, just as we began, my friend.
