Soft Hands

I learned to smile with tears in my eyes

Fighting storms I never showed outside

Every scar taught me how to feel

Every wound made my heart more real

I know the silence people hide

The quiet battles deep inside

So when I see that look in you

I know exactly what to do

I won’t let pain make me cold

I won’t let darkness take my soul

So I use soft hands when I’m hurting

Give out love when my heart’s still burning

Turn my broken into light

Hold someone through their night

If I’ve cried, then I understand

Why the world needs softer hands

I’ve been low where hope gets thin

Where you question if you’ll rise again

But something in me chose to stay

Not bitter… just a different way

Now I speak what I needed to hear

Even if my voice still shakes with fear

If I can be what I once lacked

Maybe I can give hope back

I won’t let pain make me blind

There’s too much hurt I can help unwind

So I use soft hands when I’m hurting

Give out love when my heart’s still burning

Turn my broken into light

Hold someone through their night

If I’ve cried, then I understand

Why the world needs softer hands

Maybe kindness is just pain… transformed

A gentle heart that’s been through storms

I didn’t heal by standing still

I healed by loving… even when it killed

So I use soft hands when I’m hurting

Still choose love when it’s undeserving

Turn my sorrow into grace

Be the light in someone’s place

If I fall, I’ll still stand

With a heart that heals… through soft hands
