Paula Cole (born April 5, 1968 in Rockport, Massachusetts, USA) is an American singer and songwriter. Among her hits include "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone," "Me," "I Am So Ordinary," "I Believe In Love," and the theme to the WB's hit series "Dawson's Creek," "I Don't Want to Wait." Cole released her debut album, Harbinger, in 1994 with Imago Records. She so entranced the industry with her vocals that she was asked to tour as an opening act for Peter Gabriel; she also appeared with Melissa Etheridge to sing a duet on VH1 though she was not well-known at the time. Harbinger featured songs dwelling on Cole's personal experience with discrimination and unhappiness. The songs were musically lush but driven and bleak.

Watch The Woman’s Hands Lyrics
Paula Cole
Watch the womans hands as she cultivates the land,
As she plants the seed, as shes on her knees.
Watch her fingers smile as she holds the little child,
As she holds him, as she holds him.
Watch the womans hands as she holds her children back,
From the danger, from the danger.
Watch how they fight to keep the family tight
Together, together.
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
Watch the womans hands, as she talks to the man,
As he talks down to her, as he tells her.
He doesnt understand, he doesnt see the fisted hands
Clenched tightly, angrily.
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
Oh we need her, oh we need her.
