[Verse]
EmIf I could tell the world Cjust one thing
It would be Gwe're all oDkay
EmAnd not to worry because Cworry is wasteful
And uGseless in times like Dthese
EmI won't be made Cuseless
GI won't be idle with desDpair
EmI'll gather myself aCround my faith
For Glight does the darkness most Dfear
[Chorus]
  GMy Dhands are Amsmall, I know
  But theyG're not Dyours, they Care my own
  But theyG're not Dyours, they Amare my own
  And GI am G/F#never Embroken

Poverty stole your gColden shoes
GIt didn't steal your lDaughter
EmAnd heartache came to Cvisit me
But I kGnew it wasn't ever Dafter
