New Order
Touched By the Hand of God - 12" Version
[Verse 1]
I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face
I couldn't look at you
I guess you knew it
But I never realized that we were through (That we were through)
And I'm now down here all alone with every feeling that I own
You can't take that away
And with every breath we take
And the illusions we create will come to you someday (Will come to you someday)

[Chorus]
And I was touched (Touched) by the hand of God
Never knew it, uh
But of course I was

[Verse 2]
I never hoped to do the things in this world I wanted to
Because everything I own, it belongs to you (It belongs to you)
I've never looked at you in a sexual way in my life before
And I've never woken up like this so desperately before (Desperately before)

[Chorus]
And I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched
(Tou—tou—tou—)
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
By the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
Touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was, ooh

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was
I was touched by the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was, ooh
I was touched
