Song Lyrics: In Your Hands by Craig David
[Verse 1]
I was a young boy
I was a young boy
I was twelve years old
Could’ve been younger
Must’ve been under something so magical
My heart was open
You came in right away
You took my breath away
I wish I’d always held you closer
[Pre-Chorus]
Back in the day, I was so unaware
In a million ways, you said you’d always be there
‘Cause I knew in my heart I would wake up one day
On a whole different wave and I’d be back in your
Back in your hands
Back in your hands
Back in your hands
Back in your hands
[Chorus]
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I feel like a young boy
I feel like a young boy
But now the garden’s grown
I took the long road
I took the long way to finally find my way home
‘Cause I’ve been praying before I go to sleep
I hear that voice inside of me
‘Cause you’ve been with me all along
[Pre-Chorus]
Back in the day, I was so unaware
In a million ways, you said you’d always be there
‘Cause I knew in my heart I would wake up one day
On a whole different wave and I’d be back in your
Back in your hands
Back in your hands
Back in your hands
Back in your hands
[Chorus]
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
You got the whole world in your hands
