Hands That Heal and Hold

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of hero In the early morning light Casting lines across the water Where the lake runs so bright He learned young what loss can teach you Held that heartache in his hand Turned the ache into a calling Built a life on solid ground [Chorus] Here's to the man who shows us how To do things right, to do them now To be ourselves, to stand up tall Oscar, you're the heart of us all Thank you for being here with us For the love, the grit, the trust [Verse 2] Almost twenty years of vow-keeping Through the laughter and the tears With Gaby by your side through every season A love that's only grown through years Little Oscar, sweet Teresa And Viviana too Every step we take with purpose Started somewhere close to you [Chorus] Here's to the man who shows us how To do things right, to do them now To be ourselves, to stand up tall Oscar, you're the heart of us all Thank you for being here with us For the love, the grit, the trust [Bridge] Hands that heal and mend the broken Hands that hold us through the night Your father must be proud in heaven Seeing the man you've grown to be You're the reason we keep reaching For the best, for what is right [Verse 3] Take us back down to the river Where the wild and quiet meet Tell us stories by the campfire Let the world slow at our feet Happy Father's Day, our anchor Every road leads home to you [Chorus] Here's to the man who shows us how To do things right, to do them now To be ourselves, to stand up tall Oscar, you're the heart of us all Thank you for being here with us For the love, the grit, the trust [Outro] Oscar, you're our shining star Loved beyond words, just as you are
