Verse 1
These hands built the house I call home
Hung the swing where my kids have grown
Built the deck where memories stay
Worked hard every single day
Every scar tells a story
Every callus earned its place
Through blood sweat and tears
they’ve earned their pay
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Before I reach…
Before I move…
One simple question gets me through…
⸻
Chorus
Protect the tools that built your life.
The hands that made your dreams come alive.
Every lift…
Every turn…
Every lesson I’ve learned.
Where’s my hand?
Clear and away.
Where’s my hand?
Safe today
⸻
Verse 2
Food on the grill, pole in hand
Playing catch out in the yard
Holding on to her little hand
One mistake… one short second
No more catch out in the yard
No little hand reaching for yours
No more casting on the water
No more holding the ones that matter
Because one moment changed it all
⸻
Pre-Chorus
So before I reach…
Before I move…
I think about what I could lose…
⸻
Final Chorus
Protect the tools that built your life.
The hands that made your dreams come alive.
Every lift…
Every turn…
Every plan…
Stop and ask…
Where’s my hand?
⸻
Outro (Acoustic guitar and piano only)
Protect your hands…
They built your home…
They built your life…
They built your family…
And that’s your why.
Protect your hands…
They are your Why
