lyrics

Strong hands, broken nails, the smell of oil
Lifting me and feeding me, teaching me to read, to be
Everything I am
Your shoes worn by walking paths that were never mine
Your voice raised in songs I cannot share any more

I do not have to reconcile to declare my love

Understanding, explanation – the faith of a child
Your words were wisdom, still echoing... echoing.
Your shoes worn by walking paths that were never mine
Your voice raised in jokes I cannot share any more

The lines on your face – a path that I must one day tread
But I will feel no fear,
You’ve gone and will go with me
But for you, the songs in me would never be

I do not have to reconcile to declare my love.
