Текст песни
Sun cracks the blinds on another long day
Dust on my boots from the fields and the clay
Smell coffee gone cold where you left it for me
A small act of kindness I finally see
You move through the chaos, a calm in the storm
Worn linoleum creaks, keeping this house warm
Got calloused hands smoothin' life's ragged seams
Makin' miracles out of impossible dreams
Oh, it takes a steady hand, baby, strong and true
To hold back the darkness like only you do
Takes a river-deep love, runs quiet and wide
To anchor this soul when the wild tide rides
Yeah, you carry the weight, make the burden seem light
Turnin' my shadows into mornin' light
Oh, it takes a steady hand.. yours holdin' mine tight
Remember that winter, the pipes nearly froze?
You wrapped every joint while the north wind just blows
Didn't flinch, didn't falter, just saw what was needed
Plantin' hope where my worry had seeded
You laugh lines run deeper than hardship's old scar
A map of the battles you've carried this far
Found grace in the struggle, a hymn in the rain
Washin' the worry right out of my brain
Oh, it takes a steady hand, baby, strong and true
To hold back the darkness like only you do
Takes a river-deep love, runs quiet and wide
To anchor this soul when the wild tide rides
Yeah, you carry the weight, make the burden seem light
Turnin' my shadows into mornin' light
Oh, it takes a steady hand.. yours holdin' mine tight
Some folks chase glory, some chase the fast dime
But your strength is the bedrock that stands against time
Simple devotion, no fanfare, no show
Just knowin' you're there makes the hard journey slow
Oh, it takes a steady hand, baby, strong and true (Strong and true)
To hold back the darkness like only you do
Takes a river-deep love, runs quiet and wide (Runs so wide)
To anchor this soul when the wild tide rides (When I'm driftin)
Yeah, you carry the weight, make the burden seem light (Make it light)
Turnin' my shadows into mornin' light (Every dawn)
Oh, it takes a steady hand.. yours holdin' mine tight. (Just hold on.. hold on)
Yeah.. Steady hand..
