Jewel In My Hands

(album: Currency - 2017)

Wake up come on go on get up
Get out of bed
You're tired but this is most extraordinary
I opened to find
Too blind
You'll barely believe it
Leave it
Undercover
It's shimmering

I swear it wasn't there
A minute ago
Where did it go
It's underneath you
If I were see through
Would it be better
This sparkling

Jewel in my hands
Go on can't you see it
It's so hard
To understand
Envy is a poison
And whether or not it's gold
It's the only one I hold
It's the only one I hold

So come on go on goodbye you know
I hate to leave
But I feel I must say something about it
If I were to hide
But why
How criminally unfair
With something so rare
What do you mean
That there's a possibility
They won't believe me
Looks are deceiving
If I reveal it
You think they'll steal it?
Well maybe I'll just tell it to them
Or I could sell it to them
Maybe trade it
For something better

Jewel in my hands
Go on can't you see it
It's so hard
To understand
Envy is a poison
And whether or not it's gold
It's the only one I hold
It's the only one I hold

So tell me what are you fearing
That's when it starts disappearing
Open the arms interfering
That's when it starts disappearing
