Heavy Hands

(Verse 1)

Up before the city wakes,

Chasing checks he never takes.

Hands are rough, his body’s torn,

Still he fights through every storm.

(Pre-Chorus)

Hides the pain behind his eyes,

Lives for them, that keeps him alive.

(Chorus)

The weight keeps draggin’ him down,

Every hit drives him into the ground.

He gave his all, it slips like sand,

A broken man with heavy hands.

And though he falls a thousand times,

His kids still see the hero inside.

(Verse 2)

Empty pockets, pride is gone,

But little voices push him on.

They don’t care what he’s not,

They just love the dad they’ve got.

(Pre-Chorus)

Scarred and tired, still he fights,

Their love keeps the fire alight.

(Chorus – harder, angry)

The weight keeps draggin’ him down,

Every hit drives him into the ground.

He gave his all, it slips like sand,

A broken man with heavy hands.

And though he falls a thousand times,

His kids still see the hero inside.

(Bridge – raw, shouted, confessional)

I’M SORRY for the nights I failed!

SORRY for the dreams derailed!

You deserve more than I can give,

But for you—I BLEED, I LIVE!

(Final Chorus (Repeat – screamed)

The weight keeps draggin’ me down,

Every loss just buries me in the ground.

I gave my all, it slipped like sand,

A broken man with heavy hands.

And though I’ve failed a thousand times,

His kids still see the hero inside!

(Outro – raw, echoing, sad)

HEAVY HANDS… still holding tight.

HEAVY HANDS… THEIR LOVE IS LIGHT.

I’M SORRY!
