Sunrise and the whole world looks forward to the light
I sit in a broad-back chair, looking backward at the night
At something real, at something past
That once was strong, but somehow it didn't last
Strange how my world came down in a slow and subtle way
I take the pills that promise me a few more days
But this pain that runs so cold
And these tools that I have no strength to hold
Cause these hands, made a living doing what they know
A steady pace kept tried and true
Now they say there's nothing they can do
For these hands
And the times they've soldiered on
Coming through when they were called upon
But those days have come and gone... for these hands...
Dear Lord can you tell me what the future hold for me
Cause your plan took away the only thing that set me free
It's so hard, but it's so true
Tears fall and once more I look to you...
No choice but to try and hide the truth for one more day
But one voice and one hard will can't brush this all away
These hands have grown so cold
They once were strong but now all they feel is old...
Cause these hands, made a living doing what they know
A steady pace kept tried and true
Now they say there's nothing they can do
For these hands
And the times they've soldiered on
Coming through when they were called upon
But those days have come and gone... for these hands...
I know that the sting of this defeat is in my eyes
This game of chance that I'm forced to lose
But I'll be alright if I can hold on to the pride
That I know when I could put these hands to use...
Cause these hands, made a living doing what they know
A steady pace kept tried and true
Now they say there's nothing they can do
For these hands
And the times they've soldiered on
Coming through when they were called upon
But those days have come and gone... for these hands...
