    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

    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.

    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.

    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!💕

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.

    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.

The hardest things In life happen, sometimes, to the people who have had the worst things happen to or around them. I am sorry for your pain. (Past present, future) I hope life brings you joy, For all of eternity. If no one has said this lately... I love you 💙

      Right? We can all do something. Even if you're stuck in quarantine (HELLO from New Orleans!) but you can still donate blood, donate money, donate time if places like second harvest are still taking volunteers in your area. 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.

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.

      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.
