Hands

Lyrics & Info	Tabs	Performances (681)

If I could tell the world just one thing  It would be that we're all OK  And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful  And useless in times like these  I won't be made useless  I won't be idle with despair  I will gather myself around my faith  For light does the darkness most fear My hands are small, I know  But they're not yours, they are my own  But they're not yours, they are my own  And I am never broken Poverty stole your golden shoes  But it didn't steal your laughter  And heartache came to visit me  But I knew it wasn't ever after We'll fight, not out of spite  For someone must stand up for what's right  'Cause where there's a man who has no voice  There ours shall go singing My hands are small I know  But they're not yours, they are my own  But they're not yours, they are my own  And I am never broken In the end only kindness matters  In the end only kindness matters I will get down on my knees, and I will pray  I will get down on my knees, and I will pray  I will get down on my knees, and I will pray My hands are small I know  But they're not yours, they are my own  But they're not yours, they are my own  And I am never broken My hands are small I know  But they're not yours, they are my own  But they're not yours, they are my own  And I am never broken  We are never broken We are God's eyes  God's hands  God's mind  We are God's eyes  God's hands  God's heart  We are God's eyes  God's hands  God's eyes  We are God's hands  We are God's hands
