(Verse 1) “Do for others, make no claim, Calm the waters, accept all blame.” God my father’s only song, I carry it with me, all life long. (Verse 2) When paintings falter, colors fade, I find the light in what they made. When doors are closed, I’ll knock once more, For charity, from door to door. (Chorus) Humble hands, and quiet ground, No need for trophies to be found. Give away the brightest part, Hold the burden, guard the heart. And that's alright ... (Verse 3) When plans collapse, I take the fall, I say “the fault is mine,” through it all. Yet somehow roads are cleared ahead, And broken dreams find life instead. (Chorus) Humble hands, and quiet ground, No need for trophies to be found. Give away the brightest part, Hold the burden, guard the heart. ..ohh ohhh (Bridge) Envy follows, puzzled eyes, “How can he win by sacrifice?” But joy runs deeper when you see, Success was never meant for me. (Verse 4 – soft, final) I’ve learned a life can still be good, When misunderstood for all you should. The weight I carry makes me strong, God my father’s only song. (Chorus – whispered, closing) Humble hands, and quiet ground, No need for trophies to be found. Give away the brightest part, Hold the burden, guard the heart. Ohhh Ohh
