[00:00.00]The Hand Song - Nickel Creek
[00:20.76]The boy only wanting to give mother something
[00:25.45]And all of her roses had bloomed
[00:30.14]
[00:31.08]Looking at him as he came rushing in
[00:35.02]With him knowing her roses were doomed
[00:39.58]
[00:41.01]All she could see was some thorns buried deep
[00:45.45]And tears that he cried as she tended his wounds
[00:50.20]And she knew it was love
[00:53.46]
[00:55.33]It was what she could understand
[00:59.27]
[01:00.15]He was showing his love
[01:03.08]And that's how he hurt his hands
[01:07.89]
[01:11.02]He still remembers that night as a child
[01:15.65]On his mother's knee
[01:20.83]She held him close and she opened her Bible
[01:25.58]And quietly started to read
[01:30.77]Then seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out
[01:35.65]"Mama he's got some scars just like me"
[01:40.52]And he knew it was love
[01:43.96]
[01:45.33]It was what he could understand
[01:50.20]He was showing his love
[01:53.02]And that's how he hurt his hands
[01:57.76]
[02:41.09]Now the boy's grown and moved out on his own
[02:45.59]When Uncle Sam comes along
[02:50.15]
[02:50.72]A foreign affair but our young men are there
[02:55.35]And luck had his number drawn
[03:00.02]
[03:00.65]It wasn't that long till our hero was gone
[03:05.50]He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross
[03:10.24]But they knew it was love
[03:13.81]
[03:15.43]It was one they could understand
[03:20.18]He was showing his love
[03:23.06]And that's how he hurt his hands
[03:28.06]
[03:30.31]It was one they could understand
[03:34.62]
[03:35.25]He was showing his love
[03:38.18]And that's how he hurt his hands
