Quiet Hands

Songtext

[Verse 1] You leave the porch light on For the kid coming home late You split your lunch in half And act like it’s no big thing You hold the door in rain With your sleeve getting soaked And never ask for thanks You just nod and keep on going [Pre-Chorus] And the world gets loud But you stay steady Small hands, brave heart Always ready [Chorus] Quiet hands, quiet hands You lift the falling, you take the stand Quiet hands, quiet hands You’re the kind of strong I understand When nobody sees it You still go first Quiet hands, quiet hands You make the hard days hurt less [Verse 2] You call your mama back Even when you’re tired You fix the broken step With a bent-up nail and wire You walk the neighbor’s dog When the neighbor can’t get up And you say, “It was nothing” But it was more than enough [Pre-Chorus] And the world gets cold But you stay tender Every little yes Makes us stronger [Chorus] Quiet hands, quiet hands You lift the falling, you take the stand Quiet hands, quiet hands You’re the kind of strong I understand When nobody sees it You still go first Quiet hands, quiet hands You make the hard days hurt less [Bridge] No cape, no crowd Just a heartbeat moving Through a grocery aisle Through a worn-out morning And if courage wears a face It looks like yours tonight Shining in the ordinary Holding up the light [Final Chorus] Quiet hands, quiet hands You lift the falling, you take the stand Quiet hands, quiet hands You’re the kind of strong I understand When nobody sees it You still go first Quiet hands, quiet hands You make the hard days hurt less Quiet hands, quiet hands I sing your name when the room gets worse Quiet hands, quiet hands You make the hard days hurt less
