Little Hands

Two AM and I'm up again awoke to hear some crying

I get outta bed 'bout now I feel like sighing

But I pick him up and calm him down put him back where he was lying

A little tired though somehow I'm satisfied

Now I'm out the door and off to work cuz I'm a fairly busy man

But I'm always thinking about my favorite little fans

And I keep them close to my heart and I say a prayer for them

Cuz I couldn't live a life without these little hands

These little hands

These little hands though they be small

They hold it all in place

And these little hands can be so strong

In their own little way

And these little hands

Can crawl clap tap and touch your face

But these little hands

Need other hands to hold and keep them safe

Now I'm coming home walk through that door

It seems the kids have just been fed

Cuz there's crumbs all over the floor

Of rolls and crusts of bread

And a little one jumps on my lap

"And just what is this?" I ask

She says I wanted some to save just for you dad

These little hands

These little hands though they be small

They hold it all in place

And these little hands can be so strong

In their own little way

And these little hands

Can crawl clap tap and touch your face

But these little hands

Need other hands to hold and keep them

Little hands to hold on tight

Hands to hug and hand to grab

Hands that just won't go to bed without a fight

Hands to drum and hands to clap

Hands that will rub their eyes when they are tired

Hands to wipe away their tears

Hands that will learn to understand through what they feel

Hands to heal

These little hands

Though they be small

They hold it all

In place

These little hands

Can crawl clap tap

These little hands

Need other hands to hold and keep them safe
