Family Hands 歌词

	作词 : Carpenter
	Last sunday we got in the car and we drove
	To the town you were raised in, your boyhood home
	The trees were just turning, up on the ridge
	And this was your valley when you were a kid
	You showed me the railroad that your daddy worked on
	As we neared the old house where your granny lives on
	She's nearing ninety years now, with her daughters by her side
	Who tend the places in the heart where loneliness can hide
	Chorus: raised by the women who are stronger than you know
	A patchwork quilt of memory only women could have sewn
	The threads were stitched by family hands, protected from the moth
	By your mother...and her mother, the weavers of your cloth
	Your grandmother owned a gun in 1932
	When times were bad just everywhere, you said she used it too
	And the life and times of everyone are traced inside their palms
	Her skin may be so weathered, but her grip is still so strong
	And i see your eyes belong to her and too your mama too
	A slice of virginia sky, the clearest shade of blue
	Chorus:
	And a rich man you might never be, they'd love you just the same
	They've handed down so much to you besides your christian name
	And the spoken word won't heal you like the laying on of hands
	Belonging to the ones who raised you to a man
	Chorus:
