Lyrics

He wasn't the kind of man who threw his arms around you
Didn't say "I love you, boy", those words just never found him
But I watched those hands of his from the time I was small
Calloused up like old leather, steady through it all
He'd work on that old truck till the daylight was gone
Hand me a wrench and say, "Hold on"
He never said much, but I see it now
He was teaching me life without telling me how
​Every bruise on those knuckles had a lesson underneath
Every scar told a story that his mouth would never speak
​Those hands built the roof above my head when the cold moved in
Those hands pulled me back from every edge I'd nearly fallen in
They never learned to hold me, but they'd bleed to keep me safe
Everything he never said was written in the lines of his face
Those hands built the roof above my head when the cold moved in
Those hands pulled me back from every edge I'd nearly fallen in
They never learned to hold me, but they'd bleed to keep me safe
Everything he never said was written in the lines of his face
​I remember watching him just standing in the doorway
Looking out at nothing like he was reaching for the words to say
I was seventeen and angry, thought he didn't give a damn
Till I caught him at my bedside with his head bowed in his hands
He never knew I saw him, never knew I heard him pray
"Lord just let him make it, keep the dark and wolves away"
I never told him what I saw and he never said a thing
Some kind of love runs deeper than the words it never brings
​Every bruise on those knuckles had a lesson underneath
Every scar told a story that his mouth would never speak
​Those hands built the roof above my head when the cold moved in
Those hands pulled me back from every edge I'd nearly fallen in
They never learned to hold me, but they'd bleed to keep me safe
Everything he never said was written in the lines of his face
Those hands built the roof above my head when the cold moved in
Those hands pulled me back from every edge I'd nearly fallen in
They never learned to hold me, but they'd bleed to keep me safe
Everything he never said was written in the lines of his face
​I got his hands now
And I finally understand
Those hands can move mountains
For the ones we love
