The boy only wanted to give Mother something |
| [00:25.03] |
And all of her roses had bloomed |
| [00:30.07] |
Looking at her as he came rushing in with them |
| [00:35.44] |
Knowing her roses were doomed |
| [00:39.81] |
All she could see were some thorns buried deep |
| [00:44.87] |
And the tears that he cried as she tended his wounds |
| [00:49.58] |
And she knew it was love |
| [00:54.50] |
It was one she could understand |
| [00:59.82] |
He was showing his love |
| [01:02.97] |
And that's how he hurt his hands |
| [01:10.54] |
He still remembers that night as child |
| [01:14.94] |
On his mother's knee |
| [01:20.27] |
She held him close and she opened her bible |
| [01:25.16] |
And quietly started to read |
| [01:29.81] |
And seeing a picture of Jesus he cried out |
| [01:35.15] |
"Momma, he's got some scars just like me." |
| [01:39.71] |
And he knew it was love |
| [01:44.79] |
It was one he could understand |
| [01:49.84] |
He was showing his love |
| [01:52.69] |
And that's how he hurt his hands |
| [01:58.95] |

| [02:40.15] |
Now the boy's grown and moved out on his own |
| [02:45.45] |
When Uncle Sam comes along |
| [02:50.22] |
A foreign affair, but our young men were there |
| [02:54.70] |
And luck had his number drawn |
| [02:59.84] |
It wasn't that long till our hero was gone |
| [03:04.90] |
He gave to a friend what he learned from the cross |
| [03:09.83] |
But they knew it was love |
| [03:14.77] |
It was one they could understand |
| [03:19.79] |
He was showing his love |
| [03:22.34] |
And that's how he hurt his hands |
| [03:27.56] |
|
| [03:29.98] |
It was one they could understand |
| [03:34.82] |
He was showing his love |
| [03:37.61] |
And that's how he hurt his hands |
