steady these hands to help me find a way out of this mess that's blinding me, that's all that i can ask, for these trembling hands...
for these trembling hands...for these trembling hands.
that carried me here, that guided me along this beaten path, this broken glass it stays with me for years and years, reminding me, that's what is left of me!
so if i find a way to bury all these words bringing present to the past, will you find a way to me at last?
can you find it in your heart to pull me from this hole i never meant to dig, that I'm losing myself in?
this game of love, this shit it happens to anyone who drifts along the way, with their heart upon their sleeve, treading water lost at sea, beauty blinds us masking misery, and it looks for those like me.
so if i find a way to bury all these words bringing present to the past, will you find a way to me at last?
can you find it in your heart to pull me from this hole i never meant to fill, overflowing now with what i know.
of losing streaks, defeated battles, now i shudder just to think of what you feel about this week....
so steady these hands, steady hands will pull me out, steady these hands, steady hands will pull me out, steady these hands, steady these hands......to help me find a way out of this mess that's blinding me, that's all that i can ask, that's all that i can ask...for these trembling hands.

introspective lyrics and ethereal instrumentals create an exciting dynamic that Rogers excels at. One can see why she brings audiences to a still awareness and complete hush, as she dazzles the listeners who give her their full attention."...more
