1
Sunrise and the whole world looks forward to the light
2
I sit in a broad-back chair, looking backward at the night
3
At something real, at something past
4
That once was strong, but somehow it didn't last
5
Strange how my world came down in a slow and subtle way
6
I take the pills that promise me a few more days
7
But this pain that runs so cold
8
And these tools that I have no strength to hold
9
Cause these hands, made a living doing what they know
10
A steady pace kept tried and true
11
Now they say there's nothing they can do
12
For these hands
13
And the times they've soldiered on
14
Coming through when they were called upon
15
But those days have come and gone... for these hands...
16
Dear Lord can you tell me what the future hold for me
17
Cause your plan took away the only thing that set me free
18
It's so hard, but it's so true
19
Tears fall and once more I look to you...
20
No choice but to try and hide the truth for one more day
21
But one voice and one hard will can't brush this all away
22
These hands have grown so cold
23
They once were strong but now all they feel is old...
24
Cause these hands, made a living doing what they know
25
A steady pace kept tried and true
26
Now they say there's nothing they can do
27
For these hands
28
And the times they've soldiered on
29
Coming through when they were called upon
30
But those days have come and gone... for these hands...
31
I know that the sting of this defeat is in my eyes
32
This game of chance that I'm forced to lose
33
But I'll be alright if I can hold on to the pride
34
That I know when I could put these hands to use...
35
Cause these hands, made a living doing what they know
36
A steady pace kept tried and true
37
Now they say there's nothing they can do
38
For these hands
39
And the times they've soldiered on
40
Coming through when they were called upon
41
But those days have come and gone... for these hands...
