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

Heard this in the airport returning back from war. Tired, hungry, beaten, lost, just discharged from the Marines. I heard the lyrics and it saved my life. I was close to not being alive had I not heard the voice of an angel. Praise God.🙏🏼🇺🇸

I miss this era... I miss this music... When everything is real, raw, and honest.

In the End only Kindness matters!! We are God’s eyes and God’s hands!!

"I won't be made useless, won't be idle with despair." 💙
My favorite song by Jewel 💙

"Poverty stole your golden shoes, it didn't steal your laughter" what a beyond powerful verse

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.

[ralucaf]

It’s mind blowing that she wrote the lyrics to this song at 16.

Jewel is a rare breed such a unique one of a kind voice. 90s music was the best time for music.

[Cledyston]

Decades later and I still get goosebumps as she sings "cause where there´s a man who has no voice there ours shall go sing!"
This song always brings tears to my eyes. Jewels touches on some strings no one else can.

We are God's hands. We are never broken. Live it.

This song and foolish games are my favorite of jewels. Phenomenal gripping melodies with excellent lyrics. She inspires so many of us. We love you Jewel!!

[raghavendraramachandrappa]

Thank you God for giving Jewel to us 🙏

[sharonvance]

Thank You, Jewel for singing this song for me 12/28/23 at the Sheridan Opera House-Telluride, CO. It was beautiful!!! Requested, In memory of my Granny Sanders who got down on her knees every day and Prayed! Yes, We are God's....eyes, hands, heart...

[cathyortiz]

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.

[snoopylover]

nothing like 90's music ... i swear.

[HENZI-cvre]

One of the most thoughtful lyrics and music videos out there. I wish Jewel was still making songs like this. ❤️

[dejawilliams]

2020 I'm here.. This song is so meaningful and she was actually homeless when she wrote this makes it more meaningful

[kylesampsell]

I think this song is fitting for what’s going on in the world today

[derricklasaga]

nothing can ever hope to match the greatness of 1990's :, , (

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.
