T'Pau - China In Your Hand

1987

It was a theme she had
On a scheme he had
Told in a foreign land
To take life on earth
To the second birth
And the man was in command

It was a flight on the wings
Of the young girl's dreams
That flew too far away
And we could make the monster live again
Oh, hands move and heart beat on
Now life will return in this electric storm
A prophecy for a fantasy
The curse of a vivid mind

Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might have
Set upon yourself
China in your hand

Come from greed
Never born o' the seed
Took a life from a barren hand
Oh, eyes wide
Like a child in the form of a man
A story told
A mind of his own
An omen for our time

Don't push too far
Your dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might have
Set upon yourself
China in your hand
