My father's hands |
LyricsMy Father's Hands (Commercial-Poetic Version)Written by Yves Stilmant © 2025 Verse 1 He wasn't much for fixing things Couldn't tell a wrench from a spade But he showed me how to stand my ground And never walk away He'd say a man is made of truth And your word's the only proof Pre-Chorus He kept it simple, kept it right And led with silence more than might Chorus My father's hands, they never built a wall But they caught me every time I'd fall They didn't carve, they didn't paint But they held steady when I caved They didn't fix the world outside But they kept our home alive I still believe in where I stand Because I knew... my father's hands Verse 2 He never bragged or made a scene But you'd notice when he left He earned his stripes in quiet ways With honor, truth, and depth He taught me not to chase the crowd But to wear my name out loud Pre-Chorus He never asked for more than grace And left this world without a trace Chorus My father's hands, they never built a wall But they caught me every time I'd fall They didn't carve, they didn't paint But they held steady when I caved They didn't fix the world outside But they kept our home alive I still believe in where I stand Because I knew... my father's hands Bridge Now when I'm lost or feeling small I hear his voice in every call Not in the noise, but in the calm That tells me I can carry on Final Chorus My father's hands, they never built a wall But they caught me every time I'd fall They didn't build a perfect plan But they made me the man I am They didn't fix the world outside But they gave me love and pride I still believe in who I am Because I knew... my father's hands Outro Yeah, I still live... in my father's hands |
