The Hands That Held Everything

The Hands That Held Everything [Verse 1] You woke before the sunrise, While the world was still asleep. Built our lives with quiet patience, Promises you'd always keep. Every burden worn in silence, Every dream you gave away, So tomorrow could be kinder For the children of today. [Pre-Chorus] I never knew the weight you carried, Until I carried some myself. [Chorus] The hands that held everything, Held our fears and held our dreams. Lifted us when we were falling, Even when your own heart ached. Now I know what love looks like— The hands that held everything. [Verse 2] The meals you made, the stories told, The light left on until I came. Love was never loud or famous, It was calling out my name. Every ordinary moment Shines brighter now than anything, Because home was always waiting In your hands that held everything. [Bridge] Years may change the world around me, Time may steal so many things. But your kindness keeps on living In the life you gave to me. If my hands can bring some comfort, If they help another through, Then a part of yours is living In everything I do. [Final Chorus] The hands that held everything, Still guide me through the dark. Though I cannot hold them anymore, They never left my heart. Now I know what love looks like— The hands that held everything. [Outro] And now I see... And now I know... All love begins With hands that hold.
