Lyrics:

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
Our hands are small nice weapons of
conscious if they’re not idle with despair

And gather ourselves around our faith for
Light does the darkness most fear

Our hands are small I know
But they’re not yours they are our own
But they’re not yours they are my own
And we shall go unbroken

Some things are subject to a higher law
You do not own us you who never saw
You won’t use my hands to fight your wars
To close your eyes to cripple your doors
Cause getting by isn’t getting enough and
neither is welfare or thankless jobs

Because where there is man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing

Our hands are small I know
But they’re not yours they are my own
But they’re not yours they are our own
And we shall go unbroken

In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters

Oh some things cannot be broken
Somethings can’t be undone
We cannot ever take away
what has already been won


Our hands are small I know
But they’re not yours they are my own
But they’re not yours they are our own
And we shall go unbroken

We shall go unbroken

I like how half the song is completely different lyrically.

It's interesting to hear guitar on Hands that is more like the piano it evolved into vs the strumming she usually does!

I love this so much. The variation shows that authentic early writing voice. 
Thanks for working out the lyrics like this, Jess.
