The Strong Hand - Foy Vance
January and the year is cool
Been a while since I heard my mother's tone
Yet I know when I need her most
She lends me a shoulder
Carries my grief like
Even through the times I wouldn't let her in
Now I'll never make the same mistake ever again
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Of a kind loving mother to make the weak man
Dig down deep and find the strength from somewhere
To withstand more than he can without her care
Lately I've been calling home
Speaking to my brothers on the phone
And we laugh as we're looking back
Over our shoulder
Laughing 'bout games that we play to win
And how we wouldn't let each other in
I will never make the same mistakes
Ever again
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Of a kind loving brother to make the weak man
Dig down deep and find the strength from somewhere
To withstand more than he can without his care
Was a time when I believed I
Would never see a future
Now I can't see anything clearer
So tonight I'm coming home
Can't lying there alone
Stroke your hair and I'll catch your vibe
And right up over your shoulder
Dive into your world like it's gonna end
Like I may never get the chance again
Everybody needs somebody taking the pain
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Of a kind-hearted woman to make the weak man
Dig down deep and find the strength from somewhere
To withstand more than he can without her care
Sometimes it takes a little planning
And whole lotta understanding to make the weak man
Dig down deep and find the strength from somewhere
To withstand more than he can without her care
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Of a kind-hearted mother
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Of a kind-hearted mother
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Of a kind-hearted momma
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
