Written On The Back Of His Hand

You don't have any secrets when you come into the world You're open like a book and the pages get filled The leaves keep turning and on every single page They write their story with the marks on you face Marks on your face Locked in your head an unbreakable code A secret never spoken is a story never told Gonna show you the back of my nhand they say You can hide those scars but they hurt you every day They hurt you every day They hurt you every day [Chorus] What was written on the back of his hand You once said it out loud you won't say it again What was written on the back of his hand You once said it out loud you won't say it again What was written on the back of his hand You won't say it again Water is holy when it falls from the sky Water tastes bitter when it falls from your eyes Lay down on the ground and look up at the sky There's no rhyme or reason when you're watching time fly Watching time fly When the stars come out the night is alive Connect those stars with the lines of your life With the lines on your hand with the words that you write One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies Beat a pack of lies Beat a pack of lies [Chorus] One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies Beat a pack of lies [Chorus] --- Written on the Back of His Hand - Lucy Kaplansky
