lyrics Jewel

you find yourself falling down
your hopes in the sky
but your heart like grape gum on the ground

and you try to find yourself
in the abstractions of religion
and the cruelty of everyone else
and you wake up to real


Deep Water

you find yourself falling down
your hopes in the sky
but your heart like grape gum on the ground

and you try to find yourself
in the abstractions of religion
and the cruelty of everyone else
and you wake up to realize
your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive

when you're standing in deep water
and you're bailing yourself out with a straw
and when you're drowning in deep water
and you wake up making love to a wall
well it's these little times that help to remind
it's nothing without love

you wake up to realize your only friend
has never been yourself or anyone who cared in the end
that's when suddenly everything fades or falls away
'cause the chains which once held us
are only the chains which we've made

when you're standing in deep water
and you're bailing yourself out with a straw
and when you're drowning in deep water
and you wake up making love to a wall
well it's these little times that help to remind
it's nothing without love, love, love
it's nothing without love

we've compromised our pride
and sacrificed our health
we have to demand more
not of each other
but more from ourselves
'cause when you're standing in deep water
and you're bailing yourself out with a straw
when you're drowning in deep water
and you wake up making love to a wall
well it's these little times that help to remind
it's nothing without love, love, love
it's nothing without love
it's nothing without love

Hands

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

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 heart ache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after

We'll 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
We are God's hands
We are God's hands

Down So Long

Sun sets'cross the ocean,I'm a thousand miles from anywhere
My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen
And the sun act like she don't even care
The wind blows cold when you reach the top
it feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
I got a plastic jesus
a cordless telephone for every corner of my room
Got everybody but you telling me what to do

(CHORUS)

But've been down so long, oh it can't be longer still
I've (we've) been down so long
(the end must be...I know the end must be...)
that the end must be drawing near

I look to everybody but me to answer my prayers
'till I saw an angel in the bathroom
who said she saw no one, worth saving anywhere
and a blind man o the corner said
it's simple, like flipping a coin
don't matter what a said it lands on of it's someone else's dime
(BACK TO CHORUS)

I take a trip,catch a train,
I catch a plane, I got a ticket in my hand
And then a man takes my money, and I like cattle we all stand
(BACK TO CHORUS)

Foolish Games
Pieces Of You / OST - Batman & Robin

You took your coat off and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that
I watched from my window
Always felt I was outside looking in on you

You were always the mysterious one
With dark eyes and careless hair
You were fashionably sensitive but too cool to care
Then you stood in my doorway with nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather

Well in case you failed to notice
In case you failed to see
This is my heart bleeding before you
This is me down on my knees

These foolish games are tearing me apart
And you thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

You were always briliant in the morning
Smoking your cigarettes and taking over coffee
You philosophies on art baroque moved
Do you loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved the ones
As I clumsily strummed my guitar

Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn, somebody more like myself

These foolish games are tearing me apart
You tearing me, tearing me apart
You thoughtless words are breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

Your took your coat off and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that


What's Simple is True

your hands are icy cold
your eyes burn bright against the frost-bit sky
you never seemed more lovely than you do tonight

pale on the horizon
like leaves frozen in the snow
our two shadows merge inseparably
will time stand still if it?s pierced with cold

the more i live
the more i know
what's simple is true
i love you

there's a warmth in my heart
it haunts me when you're gone
mend me to your side and never let go
say time knows nothing, we'll never grow cold

the more i live
the more i know
what's simple is true
i love you

twilight descends on our silhouette
how soon spring comes
how soon spring forgets
i wanna hold time, say it'll never begin

old man winter be our friend
old man winter be our friend
?cause the more i live
the more i know what?s simple is true
what?s simple is true
i love, i love you

Jewel - Intuition

I'm just a simple girl
In a high tech digital world
I really try to understand
All the powers that rule this land
They say Miss J's big butt is boss
Kate Moss can't find a job
In a world of post modern fad
What was good now is bad


It's not hard to understand
Just follow this simple plan


#Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your Intuition
It's easy to find
Just follow your heart baby


You look at me
but you're not quite sure
Am I it or could you get more?
You learn cool from magazines
You learn love from Charlie Sheen


If you want me let me know
I promise I won't say no
#Follow your....


You got something that you want me to sell
Sell your sin. Just cash in
You got something that you want me to tell
You'll love me. Wait and see.


If you want me
Don't play games
I promise
It won't be in vain
Uh-uh-uh

Jewel - Stand

Walk in a corner shop
See a shoplifting cop
See the old lady with a gun
See the hero try 2 run
Nothing's what it seems, I mean
It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean
There's children paying bills
There's monks buying thrills
There's pride for sale in magazines
There's pills for rent 2 make u clean
Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother
Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother

CHORUS

Mothers weep, children sleep
So much violence ends in silence
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
For all the pain that life brings
If u will just take me It might just complete me
And together we can make a stand

A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV, D.C. is selling lies
While in the corner, King's dream dies
Go 2 the counter, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash

CHORUS

U will love me, I will love u

CHORUS
