Silver Hands

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You taught me how to stand When the ground felt thin How to keep my word And hold my chin Your hands were worn like proof Of every road you drove I learned love from your silence More than you know [Pre-Chorus] And I still hear your voice When the night gets heavy You said, “Keep moving on” So I stay ready [Chorus] My father, my father You made me strong My father, my father You carried on If I could give you The world you gave me My father, my father You’d feel so free (so free) [Verse 2] You fixed the broken chair You made the hard days light You gave your last good answer So I could sleep at night You never asked for praise You just showed up and stayed That kind of steady love Don’t ever fade [Pre-Chorus] And every little win Has your name on it Every brave new step Yeah, you helped me get it [Chorus] My father, my father You made me strong My father, my father You carried on If I could give you The world you gave me My father, my father You’d feel so free (so free) [Bridge] Let me be your pride Let me be your peace Let my life say thank you For the man in me When my days grow long And my voice feels small You’re the hill I climb You’re the root of it all [Final Chorus] My father, my father You made me strong My father, my father You carried on If I could give you The world you gave me My father, my father You’d feel so free (so free) My father, my father This one’s for you My father, my father I’ll make you proud too (proud too)
