  • I remember the day that he came in
    I can't believe how long it's been
    Like a poet, he began to play
    Just an old friend that hung with the band
    A drinkin' man he had no plan
    But he played the 'Bird
    Played it for free

    'Cause I know he's here
    He's everywhere
    Take a look around oh and you will see
    That cross we bear
    It's in the air
    Lord we thank you for these gifted hands

    There are demons we live with every day
    That tear at our hearts and take us away
    To another place
    Some of us don't get back
    This song is for the hands of the workin' man
    Who believes in himself and he understands
    Love, hope, and faith are The Maker's plan

    'Cause I know he's here
    He's everywhere
    Take a look around oh and you will see
    That cross we bear
    It's in the air
    Lord we thank you for these gifted hands

    One day we'll all take that ride
    And with those gifted hands I know you'll fly Writer/s: JOHN LOWERY, WRITERS UNKNOWN
