Iron Hands

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You showed up with the dawn Dust on your boots, jaw set hard No big speech, no parade Just two hands and a stubborn heart You took the weight in the yard Moved that busted gate by yourself Said, "If it bends, we bend back" Then you laughed and grabbed another shelf [Pre-Chorus] And I saw it clear In the way you stand When the whole house shakes You don't let go, man [Chorus] Like a strong man, strong man You hold the line Like a strong man, strong man You don't fall behind When the door won't open You make a new way Like a strong man, strong man You stay [Verse 2] You carried the box from the truck Rain on your neck, shirt torn at the seam Didn't ask for a hand Just said, "I got this," and made it look clean When the night got mean You were calm like stone in the creek Kept your voice low and warm Told the whole room, "We can make it this week" [Pre-Chorus] And I see it now In your steady frame You don't need the crowd To know your name [Chorus] Like a strong man, strong man You hold the line Like a strong man, strong man You don't fall behind When the door won't open You make a new way Like a strong man, strong man You stay [Bridge] Not the kind that shouts Not the kind that breaks The kind that lifts a whole damn world And never asks what it takes [Chorus] Like a strong man, strong man You hold the line Like a strong man, strong man You don't fall behind When the door won't open You make a new way Like a strong man, strong man You stay
