Future In Your Hands

This song was written about an old friend who could only ever see the downside to every situation and was certain her “ship would never come in”. So naturally, it never did!
– Stevie J

FUTURE IN YOUR HANDS

Stevie J Mayer

You say you wanna win, but you never try
Your ship never comes in, and you wonder why
Well don’t you know it’s in your system?
What you believe you are, you are

So maybe some plan, is what’s needed here
Now that you can see, that it was just fear
Come on and join the New Age sister
She’ll give you everything you need

But don’t sit on your hands
Or you can’t see the cards that your fingers are holding
I don’t understand, why you laugh at me when I say
The future’s in your hands
The future’s in your hands, yeah
The future’s in your hands
I hope you understand

So where are you now, did you persevere?
Did you work it out baby, or did you veer from the plan?
Well don’t lose heart just start it later
If you believe you can, you can

But don’t sit on your hands
Or you can’t see the cards that your fingers are holding
I don’t understand, why you laugh at me when I say
The future’s in your hands
The future’s in your hands, yeah
The future’s in your hands
I hope you understand

[ INSTRUMENTAL ]

Well you can make it if you want to
But I can’t do it for you

While you sit on your hands
So you can’t see the cards that your fingers are holding
I don’t understand, why you laugh at me when I say
The future’s in your hands
The future’s in your hands
The future’s in your hands
I hope you understand
Yeah I hope you understand
