Lyrics
Made By Hand
Wise one
lived a trying life
joyful
like a child inside
tell me
the secret in your smile
she turns
and talks with me a while
And she says,
Child, you need to understand
we live a life that's made by hand
with tenderness and care stitched in
the beauty's in the love we give
you can color it with shades of gray
or paint yourself a lovely day
you can mend a tattered memory
with love and time, prayer and peace
Young one
tears are flowing now
can I
comfort you somehow
believe
joy will overcome
because of a Wiser One
Child, you need to understand
we live a life that's made by hand
with tenderness and care stitched in
the beauty's in the love we give
you can color it with shades of gray
or paint yourself a lovely day
you can mend a tattered memory
with love and time, prayer and peace
you can mend a tattered memory
with love and time, prayer and peace
