Vance, Foy - The Strong Hand Lyrics






January and the air is cold
It's been a while since I heard my mother's tone
Yet I know when I need her most
She lends me her shoulder
Carries my grief like hidden sin
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-hearted mother to make a 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 played to win
And how we wouldn't let each other in
How we'll never make the same mistakes
Ever again

Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Of a kind-hearted brother to make the weak man
Dig down deep and find the strength from somewhere
To withstand more than he can without his care

'Cause I don't think there 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 bear to think of you lying there alone
Stroke your hair and I'll kiss your back
Then 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 on whom they can depend

Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Of a kind-hearted woman to make a 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 a 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 brother
Sometimes it takes the strong hand
Of a kind-hearted woman
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

    Great song, great words and great direction Courtney. Foy great words really got to me and I love the melody. Here’s to my mom the kindest little soul and the biggest heart. and to my wife. Mom I’ll love you forever Rip ❤️.

    Caleb G yep once your mom is gone you miss her voice, her heart, her love her kindness. And her unconditional love.it changes your outlook altogether and once both parents are gone you feel lost. I want them back. 💔

    Rip mom. A strong hand, kind hearted mother. 😢 beautiful song. Life’s not the same without you and dad. Miss you so much.❤️💔❤️ Brilliant words and great song. Courtney Cox great job directing. Nice touch adding in your daughter and Foy’s wife and child.

    Jack Wilson I feel you. I miss my mom and dad so much too. This song is really about that to me. It’s about family. And the grief I have has gotten worse tbh. I want my mom and dad back. They’re both gone and although I’m married I am grieving everyday. There’s no help unless someone can bring them back. I want to go back to being a kid and being happy and healthy and not worrying about adult bs. You just don’t think it will happen to you. You live in Lala land until that day comes. It’s just not the same here anymore and my family has fallen apart too. But this song brings me comfort. It’s so well written and it’s a great song. CC great job directing. And nice touch adding your daughter and Foy’s wife and child.
