I have been asked to sing the song "Hands" by Jewel. It is a very touching song, and it was difficult for me to sing this without getting emotional. The words are so beautiful. Also, a special guest appearance of my sweet husband as Sub-Zero playing the bass for me. ♥ I have added some of my own lyrics to this song (third verse). I hope you like it! ^^
I am playing the guitar and the midi-keyboard, and I am singing lead with 3-part harmony.
Please forgive the camera, it didn't want to stay in focus. ^^ ♥

Lyrics: Hands
If I could tell the world just one thing,
It would be, we're all okay.
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful,
And useless in times like these.
I won't 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,
And they're not yours they are my own,
And I will not be 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's got to stand up for what's right!
For 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,
And they're not yours they are my own,
And I will not be 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!
I will get down on my knees and I will pray!
My wish for the world today,
Would be to stop and see the beauty!
Remember the love and simplicity,
Of a life lived to help each other!
No matter how alone or hopeless you feel,
Remember it's only a lie!
Fear and doubt are tools only to deceive,
And they your joy would deny!
My hands are small, I know,
And they're not yours, they are my own,
And they're not yours, they are my own,
And I will not be broken.
