I think he wants the person to come to him so he can comfort them. He may be singing to his girlfriend or a family member.
he keeps repeating the phrase "With my own two hands." He nay be repeating that because he may think he can do this stuff by himself and feels powerful.

There are 81 lines and 8 stanzas.Maby he is saying that that person needs to try to help people herself,and I think he is talking to a girlfriend or wife.
"Use your own hands." He says this alot because he is stressing this mesage,the mesage is that he wants everybody to help. I think that the only words that rhyme are "safer place" and "human race".
I agree with Mr.harper because if one person helps it might change things. By being nice alot.
It's Brie Roman. "With My Own Two Hands" has 8 stanzas and 81 lines.
Ben Harper challenges the person he is singing to, to help him/herself and let them start doing things for themselfs. I think he is singing to a friend family member, or someone that he knows. Ben Harper repeats himself for emphasis, and he is telling us something important. The key message is to help make the world a better place and don't dump your responsibilities on somebody else.
The words that rhyme are- place and race. I half agree because everyone can help to make the world better place for our species and for many others. The other half is that every one needs to contribute not just live off of someone else wether it's a family member, a friend, or the goverment.
I can make the world a better place by recycling picking up trash not littering not smoking and not using violence to solve my problems.
I the song "With My Own Two Hands" there were eighty-one lines in the song. Also, there were seven stanzas. In stanza four, I think he is challenging a person to use two hands. I think he is singing to his wife because the lyrics say "I can hold you...with my own two hands" and "And I can comfort you...with my own two hands". I think Ben Harper repeats "With my own two hands" because it has a message to go with it. I think message is "Don't be lazy, be active". There are a two words that rhyme in this song that I can see. The two words I see are place and race. I agree it takes only one person to change the world because it takes one person to get a envirmental club or society to help and it takes one person to make a speech to change the way people act. You can make the world better by not using so much electrcity and shuting the water of when you brush your teeth.

I'm Kelly Williams. There are 8 stanzas and 81 lines. He is chalenging you to help and is trying to speak to everyone. He keeps repeating the words "with my own two hands" and "I'm gonna make a brighter place (with my own) I'm gonna make a safer place (with my own) I'm gonna help the human race (with my own)(with my own two hands)." The key message in this song is that you need to help the world. The rhyming words are race and place. I do agree that one person can change the world and that one way to help is to take care of the environment.
