The Backs Of His Hands (Hallelujah) - Sailship[00:00:00]
He had a black book wrapped in his little hands[00:00:15]
Its binding was frayed with age[00:00:20]
It kept his heart held safe when the backs of his hands seemed strange[00:00:23]
He knew that top shelf better than he knew himself[00:00:31]
It gave him strength to face the day[00:00:35]
But then he lost his pride when his mother died[00:00:39]
And as the church bells rang still he sang[00:00:44]
Hallelujah to everyone[00:00:48]
Hallelujah like never before[00:00:52]
Hallelujah to all of the memories that made him miss her more[00:00:56]
A couple years went by before he said goodbye[00:01:19]
And the pages continued to turn[00:01:24]
He had them memorized every single line[00:01:27]
That his mother had taught him to sing[00:01:32]
And it sounded like[00:01:34]
Hallelujah to everyone[00:01:36]
Hallelujah like never before[00:01:40]
Hallelujah to all of the shining seas and all of their shining shores[00:01:44]
And when the image of his mother is gracing his sleeping thoughts[00:01:53]
In the morning he wakes and prays all the things that he dreamt of[00:01:59]
All because he never once thought of happiness as compromising his fears[00:02:07]
Some day hell love again and all the lessons she taught him then will appear[00:02:15]
