[Intro – Soft organ chord, slow string swell] [Sound feels grounded and warm] [Bass male voice – spoken, respectful] Before there were names… there were hands. [Verse 1 – Bass voice, sung, steady] Hands that shaped Stone and frame Hands that worked Without a name [Soprano voice – gentle harmony, supportive] Ahhh… [Pre-Chorus – Bass voice] Every wall Every way Carried time Carried days [Choir enters softly, human and close] [Chorus – warm, dignified] Hands that built the world Piece by piece Line by line Hands that built the world Yours and mine [Organ supports, not dominates] [Interlude – Instrumental] [Strings breathe] [Guitars hum softly] [Verse 2 – Bass voice] Not for praise Not for gain Just to leave Something plain [Soprano answers with rising phrase, hopeful] [Pre-Chorus – Bass voice] Work has weight Touch has truth [Chorus – repeated, slightly fuller] Hands that built the world Still remain Through all time Hands that built the world Yours and mine [Outro – quiet pride] [Bass voice – spoken] We were never empty. We were busy building. [Organ fades slowly]
