CHINA IUN YOUR HAND
(Carol Ann Decker / Ronald Phillip Rogers)

as recorded by T'Pau
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 a young girl's dreams
That flew too far away!

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, yeah yeah,
China in your hand!

Come from greed,
Never born of the seed,
Took a life from a barren hand,
Oh, eyes wide like a child in the form of man!
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, yeah,
China in your hand,
Whoa your hand, your hand!

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, you don't know,
But you shouldn't push too hard, no no!

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,
Because they're only dreams
And you shouldn't push too hard, no no!
