Inside our garage 
A used pellet gun 
An old fishing rod 
We took them both in fact 
To prove I was brave 
I never looked back, you were proud 
I was six years old 
I asked you for christmas a new telescope 
At night we stood outside 
It was always so cold as we looked for the moon in the sky 
We spent our time 
Every sunday 
Montgomery street there was a café 
And then to the park 
Where I learned to ride 
the bicycle trail where you ran by my side 
Moving all that's in your way 
The work of your hands the world's strongest man 
Carry us and save the day 
The work of your hands the world's strongest man 
Sometimes you worked late 
Avoiding the traffic that choked the highway 
You did the best you could 
Like you always told me you hoped that I would 
I grew up far too fast 
And I can see why you sometimes would get mad 
When I lied to your face 
You took me aside said we all make mistakes, 
You forgave 
We took a trip 
To Fossil Rim
And fed the giraffes from the palms from our hands 
You stayed up late, outside in the dark 
Hammering nails for my new racing car 
And I heard you from my bed 
The work of your hands the world's strongest man 
All that I have left unsaid 
The work of your hands the world's strongest man 
Moving all that's in your way 
The work of your hands the world's strongest man 
Carry us and save the day 
The work of your hands the world's strongest man
