Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He was runnin’ through the backyard
Grass stains on his knees
Mama called him in for supper
He said
“Five more minutes
Please”
Then the tires and the shatter
All the sirens
All the screams
Mama dropped down on that gravel
Prayin’ this was just a dream
[Chorus]
But he’s holdin’ on to glory
Little hands in bigger hands
Laughin’ in that golden story
Where they already understand
Mama
Don’t you cry too long
I can hear his voice so strong
“I’m right here
I’m alright
In the arms of the Light
Little hands in glory
Carryin’ on”
[Verse 2]
White sheet on a small frame
Preacher searched for softer words
Mama rocked an empty blanket
Like he still could be heard
Then a peace like soft rain
Fell down on her aching chest
She could almost feel him climb up
Lay his head where her tears had wet
[Chorus]
‘Cause he’s holdin’ on to glory
Little hands in bigger hands
Laughin’ in that golden story
Where they already understand
Mama
Don’t you cry too long
I can hear his voice so strong
“I’m right here
I’m alright
In the arms of the Light
Little hands in glory
Carryin’ on” (ohhh)
[Bridge]
He said
“Mama
I got angels
They throw the ball so high
Grandpa’s waitin’ by the river
We don’t ever say goodbye
You can send your prayers like letters
Fold ‘em up inside your song
Every time you start to sing it
I’ll be singin’ right along” (right along)
[Chorus]
So she’s singin’ about glory
Through the hurt and through the night
Holdin’ on to that same story
Till her tears turn into sight
Mama
You can walk this road
You ain’t carryin’ this load
He’s right there
He’s alright
In the arms of the Light
Little hands in glory
Shinin’ bright
Little hands in glory
Shinin’ bright
