[Intro]
In the end, only kindness matters
In the end
[Verse 1]
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Poverty stole your golden shoes
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
'Cause someone will stand up for what's right
'Cause when there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken
We are never broken
[Outro]
We are God's eyes
God's hands (God's hands)
We are God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are reflections of God
We are reflections of God
In the end, only kindness matters
In the end
[Verse 1]
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Poverty stole your golden shoes
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
'Cause someone will stand up for what's right
'Cause when there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken
We are never broken
[Outro]
We are God's eyes
God's hands (God's hands)
We are God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are reflections of God
We are reflections of God
