Jay Zubricky - Brave Hands lyrics

Believed that I was made from frail and broken things And I'm scared that's all I'll be I fell hard to the ground as a child and cut up my knee Saw my father's blood as it poured out The first gift I ever received I felt it sting and the spit of the sea As the waves rose up to comfort me And they said, so softly “You don't have to feel alone like this Come inside, let us take you” It's too late to forgive What's done is done I'll leave and forget I hope you pay for what you did You gave me my name Just a spark that's spit out from forever's flame With a grudge and a note that's attached to our family's blood That says, “I tried so hard to be a good man I tried so hard to get it right I tried so hard to be better than my father Give you a better life than mine” And I dreamed that I'd be met with brave and loving hands They'd set me free from who I'd been Make me at peace with who I am You said you'd stay, but they dug a hole I wish I forgave you before we lost your soul Believed that I was made from frail and broken things And I'm scared that's all I'll be
