Hand Song
The boy only wanted to give him mother something
And all of her roses had bloomed
Looking at him as he came rushing with them
Knowing her roses were doomed
All she could see were the thorns buried deep
With tears in his eyes as she tended his wounds
CHORUS:
But she knew it was love
It was one she could understand
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands
He still remembers that night as a child
On his mother's knee
Holding him close as she opened her Bible
And quietly started to read
Then seeing a picture of Jesus he cried
"Mama, He's got some scars just like me!"
CHORUS:
And he knew it was love
It was one he could understand
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands
Now, the boy's grown and moved out on his own
When Uncle Sam comes along
A foreign affair, but our young men were there
And luck had his number drawn
It wasn't long 'til our hero was gone
He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross
CHORUS:
And they knew it was love
It was one they could understand
He was showing his love
And that's how he hurt his hands
Canção das Mãos
O menino só queria dar algo à mãe
E todas as suas rosas tinham florescido
Olhando pra ele enquanto ele corria com elas
Sabendo que suas rosas estavam condenadas
Tudo que ela podia ver eram os espinhos enterrados fundo
Com lágrimas nos olhos enquanto ela cuidava de suas feridas
REFRÃO:
Mas ela sabia que era amor
Era um amor que ela podia entender
Ele estava mostrando seu amor
E foi assim que ele machucou as mãos
Ele ainda se lembra daquela noite quando era criança
No colo da mãe
Apertando-o perto enquanto ela abria a Bíblia
E começava a ler em voz baixa
Então, ao ver uma imagem de Jesus, ele chorou
"Mamãe, Ele tem algumas cicatrizes como eu!"
REFRÃO:
E ele sabia que era amor
Era um amor que ele podia entender
Ele estava mostrando seu amor
E foi assim que ele machucou as mãos
Agora, o menino cresceu e saiu de casa
Quando o Tio Sam apareceu
Um caso no exterior, mas nossos jovens estavam lá
E a sorte tinha seu número sorteado
Não demorou muito até que nosso herói partisse
Ele deu a um amigo o que aprendeu na cruz
REFRÃO:
E eles sabiam que era amor
Era um amor que eles podiam entender
Ele estava mostrando seu amor
E foi assim que ele machucou as mãos
