A Man's Hands
A man’s hands, held mine in his.
A man’s hands, held my face for a kiss.
A man’s hands, smoothed out my hair.
A man’s hands, promised life-long care.
A man’s hands, swore not to falter.
A man’s hands, held mine at the altar.
A man’s hands, held me at night.
A man’s hands, held our child at first sight.
A man’s hands, showed me so much love, then
A man’s hands, started to hit and shove.
A man’s hands, started to hurt.
A man’s hands, treated me like dirt.
A man’s hands, made me so scared.
A man’s hands, just didn’t care.
A man’s hands, just couldn’t see,
A man’s hands, shouldn’t hurt me.
A man’s hands, held my face for a kiss.
A man’s hands, smoothed out my hair.
A man’s hands, promised life-long care.
A man’s hands, swore not to falter.
A man’s hands, held mine at the altar.
A man’s hands, held me at night.
A man’s hands, held our child at first sight.
A man’s hands, showed me so much love, then
A man’s hands, started to hit and shove.
A man’s hands, started to hurt.
A man’s hands, treated me like dirt.
A man’s hands, made me so scared.
A man’s hands, just didn’t care.
A man’s hands, just couldn’t see,
A man’s hands, shouldn’t hurt me.
