Harm in Your Hands

Tanita Tikaram

[Verse 1]
When the voice says
You should not stumble
You should not frighten
Or feel so ashamed
'Cause all the chores are light
And all the psalms are wiped

When you smash it
You make it easy
For 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
If you winced then
Why the man won't be coming
If you waste us
It's what we earned

And if you call soulless
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
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 licence
That I'd like you to give me
That I'd like you to give me if
We all come out
Come in

Come on, dance
Come on, dance

[Verse 6]
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
There's nobody will ache so much
Ache so much for you

[Break]

[Verse 7]
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

[Verse 8]
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

It's the harm in your hands
Harm in your hands
