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 ownAnd I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
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
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 |
People living their lives
For you on TV
They say they're better
Than you and you agree
Another burger,
Another hot dog, some fries
A wish in the well,
Hope your health don't
Go to hell, well
Another doctor's bill,
Another lawyer's bill
Another cute cheap thrill
You know you love him
If you put in your will
Who will save your soul
When it comes to the flower
Who will save your soul
After all the lies that you told, boy
Who will save your soul
If you won't save your own?
We try to hustle them,
Try to bustle them,
Try to cuss them
The cops want someone
To bust down on Orleans Avenue
Another day, another dollar,
Another war, another tower
Went up where the homeless
Had their homes
So we pray to as many different
God’s as there are flowers
But we call religion our friend
We're so worried about
Saving our souls
Afraid that God will take His toll
That we forget to begin
Who will save your soul
When it comes to the flower
Who will save your soul
After all the lies that you told, boy
Who will save your soul
If you won't save your own?
Some are walking, some are talking,
Some are stalking their kill
You got social security,
But that don't pay your bills
There are addictions to feed
And there are mouths to pay
So you bargain with the Devil,
Say you're o.k. for today,
You say that you love them,
Take their money and run
Say it's been swell, sweetheart,
But it was just one of those things
Those flings, those strings
You've got to cut,
So get out on the streets, girls,
And bust you butts.
Who will save you soul
When it comes to the flower
Who will save you soul
After all the lies that you told, boy
Who will save your soul
If you won't save you own? |
You took your coat off
And stood in the rain,
You were always crazy like that
I watched from my window,
Always felt I was outside
Looking in on you
You were always the mysterious one
With dark eyes and careless hair,
You were fashionably sensitive,
But too cool to care
Then you stood in my doorway,
With nothing to say
Besides some comment
On the weather
Well in case you failed to notice,
In case you failed to see,
This is my heart bleeding before you,
This is me down on my knees
These foolish games
Are tearing me apart
Your thoughtless words
Are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You were always brilliant
In the morning
Smoking your cigarettes,
Talking over coffee
Your philosophies on are,
Baroque moved you,
You loved Mozart and
You'd speak of your loved ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar
You'd teach me of honest things
Things that were daring,
Things that were clean
Things that knew what an
Honest dollar did mean.
So I hid my soiled hands
Behind my back
Somewhere along the line
I must've gone off track with you
Excuse me, think
I've mistaken you for
Somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself
These foolish games
Are breaking my heart
Your thoughtless words
Are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You took your coat off and
Stood in the rain
You were always crazy
Like that |
I hear the clock, it's six a.m.
I feel so far from where I've been
Got my eggs and
My pancakes too
Got my maple syrup,
Everything but you.
Break the yolks,
Make a smiley face
I kinda like it in
My brand new place
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don't leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels
On the floor anymore' cause
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
Called my momma,
She was out for a walk
Consoled a cup of coffee
But it didn't wanna talk
Picked up a paper,
It was more bad news
More hearts being broken
Or people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
Saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad
Dreams last for so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
Go about my business,
I'm doin fine
Besides, what would I say if
I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts are broken, everyday.
Brush my teeth and
Put the cap back on
I know you hate it when
I leave the light on
I pick a book up.
Turn the sheets down.
Take a deep breath
And a good look around
Put on my pj's and hop into bed
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it'll be all right
I just shouldn't think
Anymore tonight
Dreams last so long
Even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you |
