Here Hands Were Enough

“Her Hands Were Enough”

(Ballad for My Mother)

Verse 1:
She woke before the sunrise, with tired eyes and dreams undone,
Her hands were rough from working, yet they held us one by one.
The world turned cold around us, but her love was warm and wide,
She carried all our sorrows, and never let us hide.

Chorus:
Oh, she gave it all, every breath, every tear,
Built our lives through the pain and the fear.
No crown, no throne, but she stands tall enough —
For a love so brave, her hands were enough.

Verse 2:
Nights she’d whisper softly, “someday you’ll understand,”
How strength can bloom from nothing, when guided by her hand.
She bore the weight of heaven, alone beneath the rain,
And smiled through all the heartbreak, through every ounce of pain.

Chorus:
Oh, she gave it all, every breath, every tear,
Built our lives through the pain and the fear.
No crown, no throne, but she stands tall enough —
For a love so brave, her hands were enough.

Bridge:
Now I see the woman who taught me how to stand,
Who mended every broken dream with her gentle hand.
If love had a face, I know it’s hers to see —
The hero she became, was all she meant to be.

Final Chorus:
Oh, she gave it all, and I’ll never forget,
Every scar she hid, every silent regret.
No one else could have loved this rough world enough —
But she did, she always did...
and her hands were enough.
