Within these hands I've held things of all sort. I've held wood and metal Wine, beer and port
These hands could tell a story Were they given the chance They've held the faces of women Or their hand while we danced
They've rubbed and sawn and sanded and nailed They've fenced and spread they've assembled and bailed.
They've loved and lost and won and cried They've hurt and ached and triumphed and tried.
They're calloused and rough They're scarred and they're tan They're the hands a real working man
They've held on to babies They've held on to men They've held other hands As we said amen.
These hands could tell stories Of an owner so cruel They've even been referred to As the hands of a fool
They've built and demolished They've dusted and polished They've painted and stained They've seen joy and pain
Changed tires and brakes They've cooked and they've baked Been cut and been burned They've felt and they've yearned
These hands belong to a very rare breed They belong to a man who has lived indeed
These hands have seen work These hands have seen fun But one thing is sure Their job is never done.

Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.
