Gifted Hands - Lynyrd Skynyrd I remember the day that he came in I can't believe how long it's been Like a poet, he began to play Just an old friend that hung with the band A drinkin' man, he had no plan But he played the 'Bird, played it for free 'Cause I know he's here, he's everywhere Take a look around, oh and you will see That cross we bear, it's in the air Lord, we thank You for those gifted hands There are demons we live with every day That tear at our hearts and take us away To another place some of us don't get back This song is for the hands of the workin' man Who believes in himself and he understands Love, hope, and faith are The Maker's plan 'Cause I know he's here, he's everywhere Take a look around, oh and you will see That cross we bear, it's in the air Lord, we thank You for those gifted hands One day we'll all take that ride And with those gifted hands I know you'll fly
