Paula Cole - Watch The Woman's Hands lyrics

Watch the woman's hands as she cultivates the land, As she plants the seed, as she's on her knees. Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child, As she holds him, as she holds him. Watch the woman's hands as she holds her children back, From the danger, from the danger. Watch how they fight to keep the family tight Together, together. Oh we need her, oh we need her. Oh we need her, oh we need her. Watch the woman's hands, as she talks to the man, As he talks down to her, as he tells her. He doesn't understand, he doesn't see the fisted hands Clenched tightly, angrily. Oh we need her, oh we need her. Oh we need her, oh we need her.
