Harm In Your Hand - Lyrics by Tanita Tikaram


Lyrics
When the voice says
You should not stumble,
You should not frighten
Or feel so ashamed,'
Cos all the chores are light
And all the psalms are wiped
When you smash it
Make it easy
When you want to
Stand alone
My friends are praying
For a good soft reason
For a good soft reason
To make them laugh again
I'll make you laugh if you want to
I'll make you smile at the footsteps
I'll make you laugh at the winter
And bring you back down to land
But if you stay on the wrong side
And if you laugh at the sunlight
I'm not asking for comfort
I'm just after the same
I'm just after the same
If you winced then
Why the man won't be coming
If you waste us -
It's what we earned
And if you call souless
About the beginnings
I'll call for easiness
Come back to the world -
Come back in the open
Stand now by the root's life
Come out to show us
You'll be back home again
Now I'm not superstitious
About being so alarming
About moving with the changes
About holding your hand
Now I believe when they told me
It was all down to fever
It's all down to the harm that's
The harm that's in your hands
Harm in your hands
Harm in your hands
Now, I'm not saying that I want you
It's like taking your chances
It's like hoping for a straight line
When I'm falling into space
I'm just talking about the license
That I'd like you to give me
That I'd like you to give me
Command -
Come on dance
Come on dance
I'm toting my whole life
And I'm toting the good side
And I hope you believe it
When I say - I'll see you through
There's nobody will ache so much
Nobody will so much
Ache so much for you
I'll make you laugh if you want to
I'll make you smile at the footsteps
I'll make you laugh at the winter
And bring you back down to land
But if you stay on the wrong side
And if you laugh at the sunlight
I'm not asking for comfort
I'm just after the same
I'm just after the same
Now I'm not superstitious
About being so alarming
About moving with the changes
About holding your hand
Now I believe when they told me
It was all down to fever
It's all down to the harm that's
The harm that's in your hands
Harm in your hands
Harm in your hands
