Wool Socks on a Park Bench

+ Show full styles

[Verse] Her hands still steady They don't shake like leaves Knitting wool socks in a house full of memories She talks about things a long time ago A childhood of shortage Dreams I don't know [Chorus] Take those socks I knitted to the park bench Let someone find them Let someone need them I don’t want to be a burden No chain to your day Just take those socks I knitted and give them away [Verse 2] Her daughter sits close Love carved in her eyes "You’ve given the world Now let me try" But the old woman laughs A bitter Sharp sound "I was made to serve Not to be weighed down" [Prechorus] Bitterness bites It clings to her words Martyrdom whispers But it still hurts [Chorus] Take those socks I knitted to the park bench Let someone find them Let someone need them I don’t want to be a burden No chain to your day Just take those socks I knitted and give them away [Bridge] Oh Mama The years They took and they tore But your hands still remember Your heart still restores You gave and you gave Now it’s my turn to show That love’s not a debt It’s a seed that will grow [Chorus] Take those socks I knitted to the park bench Let someone find them Let someone need them I don’t want to be a burden No chain to your day Just take those socks I knitted and give them away
