G I remember the day that he came inD I can't believe how long it's beenC G Like a poet, he began to playG Just an old friend that hung with the bandD A drinkin' man he had no planC But he played the 'Bird...G Played it for freeG 'Cause I know he's hereD He's everywhereC G Take a look around oh and you will seeG That cross we bearD It's in the airC G Lord we thank you for these gifted handsG There are demons we live with every dayD That tear at our hearts and take us awayC To another placeG Some of us don't get backG This song is for the hands of the workin' manD Who believes in himself and he understandsC G Love, hope, and faith are The Maker's planG 'Cause I know he's hereD He's everywhereC G Take a look around oh and you will seeG That cross we bearD It's in the airC G Lord we thank you for these gifted handsEmi A One day we'll all take that rideC D And with those gifted hands I know you'll flyG D C (2x)
