Verse 1
You were morning in a tired house
Coffee steam and whispered prayers
Bandaging my scraped-up knees
Like superheroes grew in rocking chairs
You carried storms behind your smile
Still made sunshine fill the room
Even on the hardest days
You found a way to make flowers bloom
Pre-Chorus
And I never saw your wings
But heaven must’ve loaned them out
Chorus
To the hands that held the world
When my world fell apart
To the voice that turned the dark
Into a place with stars
Every road I walk begins
Right where your love starts
Mama, you’ve been magic
From the very start
Yeah, the hands that held the world
Still hold my heart
Verse 2
You taught me strength ain’t loud at all
Sometimes it sounds like “it’ll be okay”
Sometimes it looks like working late
Still finding time at the end of the day
And every dream I’m chasing now
Still carries your fingerprints
Like little notes inside my soul
Signed in patience and sacrifice
Pre-Chorus
I may grow older every year
But I’ll always be your child
Chorus
To the hands that held the world
When my world fell apart
To the voice that turned the dark
Into a place with stars
Every road I walk begins
Right where your love starts
Mama, you’ve been magic
From the very start
Yeah, the hands that held the world
Still hold my heart
Bridge
If love could build a monument
Yours would touch the sky
Built from every “don’t give up”
Every tear you helped me dry
Final Chorus
To the hands that held the world
And never asked for praise
To the light that guided me
Through all my reckless days
If I become half the soul
You worked so hard to raise
Then every prayer you whispered
Still echoes through my veins
Yeah, the hands that held the world
Will forever hold my heart
