Hands
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
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
Down So Long
sun sets 'cross the ocean
i'm a thousand miles from anywhere
my pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen
and the sun act like she don't even care
the wind blows cold when you reach the top
it feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
i got a plastic jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room
got everybody but you telling me what to do
but i've been down so long
ooh, it can't be longer still
i’ve been down so long
that the end must be drawing near
i look to everybody but me to answer my prayers
'til i saw an angel in a bathroom
who said she saw no one worth saving anywhere
and a blind man on the corner said it's simple, like flipping a coin
don't matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime
but i've been down so long
ooh, it can't be longer still
we've been down so long
that the end must be drawing near
i take a trip, i catch a train, i catch a plane
i got a ticket in my hand
and then a man takes my money
and like cattle we all stand
but we've been down so long
ooh, it can't be longer still
we've been down so long
the end must be... i know the end must be...
oh, i know the end must be drawing near
Jupiter
venus de milo in her half-baked shell
understood the nature of love very well
she said, "a good love is delicious,
you can't get enough too soon
it makes you so crazy you want to swallow the moon."
oh, oh jupiter
oh, oh be still my little heart
oh, oh love is a flame neither timid nor tame
take these stars from my crown
let the years fall down
lay me out in firelight
let my skin feel the night
fasten me to your side
say it will be soon
you make me so crazy, baby
could swallow the moon
my hands are two travelers they've crossed oceans and lands
yet they are too small on the continent of your skin
wandering, wandering
i could spend my life
traveling the length of your body each night
oh, oh jupiter
oh, oh be still my little heart
oh, oh love is a flame neither timid nor tame
take these stars from my crown
let the years fall down
lay me out in firelight
let my skin feel the night
fasten me to your side and say it will be soon
you make me so crazy, baby
could swallow the moon
swallow the moon
oh, oh jupiter
oh, oh be still my little heart
oh, oh love is a flame neither timid nor tame
take these stars from my crown
let the years fall down
lay me out in firelight
let my skin feel the night
fasten me to your side
and say it will be soon
you make me so crazy, baby
could swallow the moon
swallow the moon
swallow the moon
swallow the moons
What's Simple Is True
turn to me with frozen lips
your hands are icy cold
your eyes burn bright against the frost-bit sky
you never seemed more lovely than you do tonight
pale on the horizon
like leaves frozen in the snow
our two shadows merge inseparably
will time stand still if it’s pierced with cold
the more i live
the more i know
what's simple is true
i love you
there's a warmth in my heart
it haunts me when you're gone
mend me to your side and never let go
say time knows nothing, we'll never grow cold
the more i live
the more i know
what's simple is true
i love you
twilight descends on our silhouette
how soon spring comes
how soon spring forgets
i wanna hold time, say it'll never begin
old man winter be our friend
old man winter be our friend
’cause the more i live
the more i know what’s simple is true
what’s simple is true
i love, i love you
