《Hands》(双手)
演唱:Jewel
选自专集:《Spirit》
歌词:
If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be that we're all o.k.
And not to worry
cause worry is wasteful
And unless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I wont be idled with dispair
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 steel 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 our's 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
God's hands
God's hands
Jewel的第一张专辑是《Pieces of You》,问世于1995年。这首 "Hands" 则收录自Jewel以“简约民谣主义”为精神发行的第二张专辑《Spirit》。1998年12月,Jewel在梵蒂冈第六届Natale In Vaticano音乐会中为教宗若望保禄二世演唱。在这场音乐会中,Jewel在百人交响乐团以及四十人的合唱团陪伴下,演唱"Hands"(关表演选用有可能出自这个现场版)。它的主题 “In the end only kindness matters(最终只有仁慈最重要)”是Jewel多年的口头语。
