Into the hands of a brother
Into the heart of a child
Into the ears of a child
Into the heart of a lover
Into the hands of a brother
But it's cold and I'm told you can't be too careful
Well you don't know where he's from
You can never tell who your neighbor is
Or what he's doin' at night or who his friends are
You know you can't be too careful these days
Just kind of cruise along
Out of the hands of another
Into the heart of a lover
Out of the mouth of a mother
Or where he's been or who he knows
Gotta hold on to what I got
Well I do want to be helpful
And out of the hands of child
And I don't take nothing from nobody, no way not me
Into the heart of a child
Into the eyes of a child
Into the heart of a lover
Out of the mouth of a mother
Well times are tough for everyone
Well I do want to be helpful
And out of the hands of another
Into the heart of a lover
Out of the mouth of a mother
Out of the mouth of a mother
Whoa but it's cold and I'm told he might just be the devil
Well I don't take chances, I don't take time to see
Into the hands of a brother
Out of the hands of another
Into the hands of a brother
