Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If I could tell the world just one thing

It would be that we're all okay

And not to worry, 'cause worry is wasteful

And useless in times like these

[Verse 2]

I won't be made useless

Won't be idle with despair

I'll gather myself around my faith

For light does the darkness most fear

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

We'll fight, not out of spite

But someone must stand up for what's right

'Cause where there's a man who has no voice

There I shall go singing

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

In the end, only kindness matters

In the end, only kindness matters

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

We are God's eyes

God's hands

God's heart

We are God's eyes

God's hands

God's heart

We are God's eyes

We are God's hands

We are God's heart
