lyrics
Oh, I wish I was better with my hands
I would make something to make you love me
I wish I could make things with my hands
I would build great bridges for you to walk across to me
My hands, my hands, my hands…
If I could write something perfect
If I got it all out
If I wrote the perfect song
Or made the perfect sound
If everyone could hear me
I’d have something to say
If my hands were any good
Then they would show us the way
My hands, my hands, my hands…
I wish I’d been better with my body
There’s so much inside of it I wish you could see
I wish I’d been kinder to my body
But sometimes it hurts so much I have to make it bleed
My hands, my hands, my hands…
If I could write something perfect
If I got it all out
If I wrote the perfect song
Or made the perfect sound
If everyone could hear me
I’d have something to say
If my hands were any good
Then they would show us the way
My hands, my hands, my hands…
I wish I’d been better with my mind
Instead, I dumbed it down time after time
I wish I’d been braver with my mind
But I was too afraid, so I learned to compromise
My hands, my hands, my hands…
If I could write something perfect
If I got it all out
If I wrote the perfect song
Or made the perfect sound
If everyone could hear me
I’d have something to say
If my hands were any good
Then they would show us the way
My hands, my hands, my hands…
My hand, my hands, MY HANDS!
