Hand Me Downs Lyrics by Indigo Girls

Hand Me Downs Lyrics

    I've taken so many down
    I've helped them all to dismount
    I've followed so many down
    I take their hand me downs
    All with hope
    All with hope
    That emptiness brings fullness
    And loss of love brings wholeness
    All with hope
    All with hope
    That emptiness brings fullness
    And loss of love brings wholeness
    To us all

    Everything that i believe
    Crawls from underneath the streets
    Everything i truly love
    Comes from somewhere far above
    Everything that i believe
    Is wrong with you is wrong with me
    Everything i truly love
    I love in you and i love in me
    So give me hope
    Give me hope
    That emptiness brings fullness
    And loss of love brings wholeness
    To us all

    You swear you can't swim the river
    (i've become the beggar now)
    (you've become the saint somehow)
    But i saw you running to jump in
    (i've become the beggar now)
    (you've become the saint somehow)
    I swore i'd never be your sinner
    (i've become the beggar now)
    (you've become the saint somehow)
    Til i held your sin
    Hand me downs

    Now you ask me why i'm here
    The same as you
    I'm scared - it's fear
    I've become the beggar now
    And you've become the saint somehow
    Twist the words and place the blame
    And tell me now aren't we the same
    Tripping in our yellow feet
    Checking underneath our sheets
    For some hope
    Give me hope
    That emptiness brings fullness
    And loss of love brings wholeness
    Give me hope
    Give me hope
    That emptiness brings fullness
    And loss of love brings wholeness
    To us all
