The World's Strongest Man

Inside our garage

A used pellet gun

An old fishing rod

We took them both in fact

To prove I was brave

I never looked back, you were proud

I was six years old

I asked you for christmas a new telescope

At night we stood outside

It was always so cold as we looked for the moon in the sky

We spent our time

Every sunday

Montgomery street there was a cafי

And then to the park

Where I learned to ride

the bicycle trail where you ran by my side

Moving all that's in your way

The work of your hands the world's strongest man

Carry us and save the day

The work of your hands the world's strongest man

Sometimes you worked late

Avoiding the traffic, the jokes, the highway

You did the best you could

Like you always told me you hoped that I would

I grew up far too fast

And I can see why you sometimes would get mad

When I lied to your face

You took me aside said we all make mistakes,

You forgave

We took a trip

To fossil rim

And fed the giraffes from the palms from our hands

You stayed up late, outside in the dark

Hammering nails for my new racing car

And I heard you from my bed

The work of your hands the world's strongest man

All that I have left unsaid

The work of your hands the world's strongest man

Moving all that's in your way

The work of your hands the world's strongest man

Carry us and save the day

The work of your hands the world's strongest man
