The Hand Song
The boy only wanting to give mother something,
And all of her roses had bloomed.
Looking at him as he came rushing in,
without knowing her roses were doomed.
All she could see were some thorns buried deep,
And tears that he cried as she tended his wounds.
And she knew it was love, it was what 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 mothers knee.
She held him close and she opened her Bible, and quietly started to read.
Then seeing a picture of Jesus, he cried out:
"Mama he's got some scars just like me!"
And he knew it was love, it was what he could understand.
He was showing his love, and that's how he hurt his hands.

Now the boy is grown and moved out on his own.
When Uncle Sam comes along.
A foreign affair, but our young men are there.
And luck had his number drawn.
It wasn't that long till our hero was gone, he gave to a friend what he learned from the cross.
But they knew it was love, it one they could understand.
He was showing his love, and that's how he hurt his hands.
It was one they could understand.
He was showing his love, and that's how he hurt his hands.
A Canção da Mão
O menino só queria dar algo à mãe,
E todas as suas rosas tinham florescido.
Olhando para ele enquanto ele entrava correndo,
sem saber que suas rosas estavam condenadas.
Tudo que ela podia ver eram alguns espinhos enterrados,
E as lágrimas que ele chorou enquanto ela cuidava de suas feridas.
E ela sabia que era amor, era o que ela podia entender.
Ele estava mostrando seu amor e foi assim que machucou as mãos.
Ele ainda se lembra daquela noite, quando era criança, no colo da mãe.
Ela o segurou perto e abriu sua Bíblia, e começou a ler em voz baixa.
Então, ao ver uma imagem de Jesus, ele gritou:
"Mamãe, ele tem algumas cicatrizes como eu!"
E ele sabia que era amor, era o que ele podia entender.
Ele estava mostrando seu amor, e foi assim que machucou as mãos.

Agora o menino cresceu e saiu para viver sozinho.
Quando o Tio Sam aparece.
Um caso no exterior, mas nossos jovens estão lá.
E a sorte tinha seu número sorteado.
Não demorou muito até que nosso herói se foi, ele deu a um amigo o que aprendeu na cruz.
Mas eles sabiam que era amor, era algo que podiam entender.
Ele estava mostrando seu amor, e foi assim que machucou as mãos.
Era algo que podiam entender.
Ele estava mostrando seu amor, e foi assim que machucou as mãos.
