Hands - Lyrics by Chantal Kreviazuk


Lyrics
Ooh ... ooh ...

Ho ...

Ah ho ho ho ah ...

Oh ...


There's a man outside my door tonight

He cries for help, he sings a pleadin' song

The times are tough for everyone

Gotta hold on to what I got, and just kinda cruise along


Well, I do
Want to be helpful

But it's cold and I'm told
You can't be too careful


Out of the mouth of a mother

And into the hands of a brother

And into the heart of a lover

And out of the hands of another

Do do do do do

You can never tell who your neighbour is

Or what he's doin' tonight

Or who his friends are

Well, you don't know where he's from

Or where he?s been, or who he knows

You know you can't be too careful

These days


Well, I do

Want to be helpful

Well but it's cold and I'm told

It might just be the devil


Out of the mouth of a mother

And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)

Into the heart of a lover

And out of the hands of another


Well, I don't take chances

And I don't take time to see

And I don't take nothin' from nobody

No way, not me


Do do do do do

Ho ah ...

Do do do do do do do


Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)

Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another (do do do do do)

Out of the mouth of a mother
Ho ...

And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)

Into the heart of a lover
Ho ...

And out of the hands of a child


Into the eyes of a child

Into the ears of a child

Into the heart of a child

Do do do do do

Into the heart of a child

Do do do do do

Into the heart of a child
