for all the strong women in my family and my circle of friends

ME rocks!
if audio does the trick for you, check the blog up:)

Watch the woman's hands as she cultivates the land
As she plants the seed
As she's on her knees
Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child
As she holds him, as she holds him

Watch the woman's hands as she holds the children back
From the danger, from the danger
Watch her big fight to keep the family tight together, together

Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need her

Watch the woman's hands as she talks to the man
As he talks down to her, as he tells her
He doesn't understand, he does not see the fisted hands
Clenching tightly, angrily

Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need her
Oh we need
Oh we need her
Oh watch the woman's hands
Watch the, watch the woman's hands
Watch the woman's hands

FYI, Watch the Woman's Hands was actually written by Paula Cole, who is performing with Melissa in the video clip you posted earlier. The clip is from VH1's Duets, in which Joan Osborne, Jewel, Paula Cole and Sophie B. Hawkins performed with Melissa back in 1995. They did a song of Melissa's and one of their own. Melissa's song with Paula is Occasionally, which is the first song in that clip you posted.

Just thought you should know...:-) It is a great song!
