    LYRICS
    If I could tell the world just one thing
    It would be that we're all ok
    And not to worry because worry is wasteful
    And useless in times like these
    I will not be made useless
    I won't be idled with despair
    I will gather myself around my faith
    For light does the darkness most fear
    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
    Poverty stole your golden shoes
    But it didn't steal your laughter
    And heartache came to visit me
    But i knew it wasn't ever after
    We will fight, not out of spite
    For someone must stand up for what's right
    Cause where there's a man who has no voice
    There ours shall go singing
    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
    In the end only kindness matters
    In the end only kindness matters
    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
    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
    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
    We are God's eyes God's hands God's mind
    We are God's eyes God's hands God's heart
    We are God's eyes God's hands God's eyes God's hands
    We are God's hands God's hands We are God's hands

      I binge watch American Idol (dont judge me lol) and Season 6 Episode 1, a girl came on trying to sing like Jewel and got told "no" and this song came on and "Good Day" so I googled the lyrics I heard and so glad I found this.

    My twin sister passed away from ALS at 56 years young. She loved this song and her daughter sang it to her while she was bedridden. It is burned in my brain the lyrics, "In the end, only kindness matters!" As she lay dying struggling to even speak, she thanked the nurses...."Thank you for your kindness" As they gave her medicines and helped her. This song has greater meaning for me as it is entwined with my loss. Her last year of life it was her mantra...only kindness matters.

Raise money for things like diapers. Or even just checking on your neighbors specially if you know they are elderly. If we all do a little something, we won't be broken.

    It's crazy how God puts people in your life, even though it's for a second. I have been struggling with anxiety and depression and I walked into the grocery store "broken", but God put the grocery store clerk in my life for a reason. She asked me if I had heard this song and of course I replied yes! She started talking to me about what lyrics meant to her and I was in "awe" because that's what I needed to hear. May God bless her today and always. She made my day for sure!💕

    My favorite Jewel song & one of my favorite's of all time. As a Humanist Buddhist, I love how she sings WE are God's eyes & hands because WE are God, the spirit of love & kindness inside all of us and how we interconnect. Opposed to something that's outside of us. My daughter's middle name is Jewel, named after the singer & also because it does with her name, Crystalinda - that means "Beautiful Crystal" in Spanish.

    The single most important song of my childhood. When I first heard this, it was during an exceptionally tumultuous and dangerous time in my home that ultimately ended in tragedy. For comfort, I’d listen to my local light-rock station at night, and every time this song came on, I’d become transfixed upon it. It deeply touched my heart and helped me process my emotions in those dark times.
    On a musician’s note, this song really sealed me into valuing F natural minor as my absolute favorite chord/scale/key signature. Now, every time I hear anything rooted in F minor, I immediately gravitate toward it.

      A Cry! For Meaning.
      Valid Truths - in the face of ignorance.
      But The Cry! For Meaning still persists.
      "Make Sense of all this! Though I curse it."
      "Reveal YOURSELF! Though I deny your Worth."
      "Comfort me! Though I refuse you yours."
      "Though you have never been Real to me, 'LORD'....
      Please, HEAL my soul."
      This is pain.
      This is emotion deadbolted and forgotten.
      This is a Cry Out! For Meaning.
      Whilst denying the Possibility of Meaning.
      Wishing still, there was Meaning...
      Where no Possibility exists.

I remember the teachers telling us Pope John Paul loved the song and we would reflect to it. I honestly was too young and immature to properly understand the meaning of the song but now, wow what a message. Can't believe she wrote this herself at such a young age.

A doctor did see her and gave her medication. She would have died. Then after she got famous her mother stole most of money. She kept going and is doing well in life now. Such a humble and sad story, but never give up life. God bless people who are struggling.

    Lyrics:
    If I could tell the world just one thing
    It would be that we're all ok
    And not to worry because worry is wasteful
    And useless in times like these
    I will not be made useless
    I won't be idled with despair
    I will gather myself around my faith
    For light does the darkness most fear
    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
    Poverty stole your golden shoes
    But it didn't steal your laughter
    And heartache came to visit me
    But i knew it wasn't ever after
    We will fight, not out of spite
    For someone must stand up for what's right
    Cause where there's a man who has no voice
    There ours shall go singing
    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
    In the end only kindness matters
    In the end only kindness matters
    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
    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
    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
    We are God's eyes God's hands God's mind
    We are God's eyes God's hands God's heart
    We are God's eyes God's hands God's eyes God's hands

    "Poverty stole your golden shoes, not your laughter.." greatest lyric in this song. difficult but truth. This woman's talent makes me think of that Journey song, "Girl Can't Help It." She is drop dead gorgeous, strong minded but yet soft-hearted and gifted. Even read her book of poetry. Yes, in the end kindness only matters right along with love, because ya'll that is all there is. Love behind eyes...

      This song makes me think of my niece because I wore this CD out and she liked it so much I gave it to her, but she passed away in 2003 @ only sixteen...such beauty from the inside to the outside gone from the planet...love, love, love to Rachel...

    This is people helping people, we all can do this. I saw a young woman, about 20 , slip and twist her foot outside Target. Before I got to the door she had hobbled inside and had sat down in tears from the pain against the wall at the right of the entrance, obviously hurt. I saw three people walk right past and a fourth man literally had to go around her or step on her. When I walked up she had pushed herself back upright and I asked her if she was ok because you look hurt. Just that small bit of care from a stranger gave her ease and I could her face calm a little and she said her foot was hurt but she was ok. I asked again are you sure, she hesitated but than a friend of hers came up and was very concerned. She turned out fine in the end. Take a minute, it'll be worth it to your soul, you'll feel it and so will the other person.

      Serial killers pull that concerned stranger crap all the time. Trust no one. Making it back to ones car with a twisted ankle is bothersome for sure but it's much preferred to being skinned alive and discarded in the river.
