Come Hold His Hand
Come hold his hand
Just because they're gnarled and old
Doesn't mean hes lost his soul
To have a moment that he knows
Someone sees him not as he shows
Has anyone got any insight
Peoples words are left and right
they hold no heed infact they bite
What could possibly make him smile
When's the last time, think a while
Perhaps his face is frozen stiff
Ever thought to unlock it
Another Man dies the world rolls on
Do you understand who he was?
Those hands once young his face once bright
The weight of life has left him a sight
He's still that young man inside
The gnarled old skin a place to hide
A story to be told for each scar worn
A lifetime of pain to be reborn
In his eyes you can still see
Just who he used to be
Don't mistake the outer exterior
He's inside not inferior
The hardest Men will get old
Remember that when being bold
His hands may be gnarled and scared
A sign of his love for his family tarred
