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 hold him
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Watch the woman's hands as she
Holds the children back
From the danger, from the danger
Watch how they fight to keep the family tight
Together, together oh, whoa, whoa

Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her whoa, whoa

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
Clenching tightly, angrily oh, whoa

Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need her
Oh we need her, oh we need oh we need her
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
