The Hand Song Lyrics

The Hand Song lyrics

The boy only wanted to give Mother something

And all of her roses had
bloomed

Looking at her as he came rushing in with them

Knowing her
roses were doomed

All she could see were some thorns buried deep

And
the tears that he cried as she tended his wounds



And she knew it was
love

It was one she could understand

He was showing his love

And
that's how he hurt his hands



He still remembers that night as
child

On his mother's knee

She held him close and she opened her
bible

And quietly started to read

And seeing a picture of Jesus he
cried out

"Momma, he's got some scars just like me."



And he knew
it was love

It was one he could understand

He was showing his
love

And that's how he hurt his hands



Now the boy's grown and
moved out on his own

When Uncle Sam comes along

A foreign affair, but
our young men were there 

And luck had his number drawn

It wasn't that
long till our hero was gone

He gave to a friend what he learned from the
cross



But they knew it was love

It was one they could
understand

He was showing his love

And that's how he hurt his
hands



It was one they could understand

He was showing his
love

And that's how he hurt his hands
